New UserIndia asks utilities to import coal amid short supply as demand spikes
02 Sep 2021
India has urged utilities to import coal despite having the world's fourth-largest reserves, with several power plants on the verge of running out of fuel due to a surge in power demand.
Coal-fired power accounts for more than 70% of electricity generation. Electricity generation makes up three-fourths of coal consumption.
"Thermal power plants, which may import coal for blending, may explore (ways) to enhance imports of coal to tide over the current crisis," the power ministry said in an August 30 notice seen by Reuters.
