G Kishan Reddy has been appointed as the new Coal and Mines Minister in the newly-formed Modi 3.0 government.
Reddy will succeed Pralhad Joshi, who has been appointed as Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and New and Renewable Energy in the new government.
Reddy's biggest challenge will be to ensure an adequate supply of coal to electricity generating plants, which are working overtime to meet peak power demand.
