India to Raise Coal Reliance Amidst LNG Supply Issues
New Delhi: India plans to lean much more on coal-fired power generation this summer season as disruptions in liquified gas (LNG) materials threaten power production. The move comes in the middle of the continuous conflict in West Asia.
- Gas-based plants, though adaptable, just add a little section to India’s power.
- Coal accounts for 70 % of electrical power generation, but incorporating it with renewables postures obstacles.
- The government invoked the Crucial Commodities Act, potentially drawing away gas from power plants.
- Over 51 GW of capability added this fiscal year, consisting of 9 GW of coal-based power.
