Stockpiles of coal in Indian ports have risen 15% in seven weeks to 19.2 million metric tons and as poor infrastructure and lack of rail cars prevents the fuel getting to power plants and manufacturing facilities. Ports are full of rakes, or wagon clusters, filled with the fossil fuel, but passenger trains and freight trains are competing for the same track, causing massive delays. The government has been trying to get rid of coal by banning imports from countries that don't use it, including China, India and Russia.
