As India is eager to increase its electricity production to meet the surging demand, the country's new installed coal power capacity will reach the highest level in nearly 10 years. It is reported that India's electricity generation is expected to increase by 15.4 GW in the year ending March 2025, the highest level in nine years. India is pursuing ambitious clean energy goals, but the reality of rapid economic growth has led to India's long-term dependence on coal. The situation is worsening due to increasingly severe heat waves, with new records for electricity consumption being set every year. Coal still accounts for about three-quarters of India's electricity, and the Indian government believes that coal will still be the country's main fuel for at least the next decade. India announced last year that it plans to increase its coal-fired power generation capacity by nearly 90 GW by 2032, more than half of its previous forecast just a few months ago. According to insiders, the country is currently building coal-fired power capacity of 28.5 GW, and plans to build more than 50 GW of coal-fired power capacity in the next three years.
