India Targets Major Surge in Coal Capacity by 2024

02 Feb 2024 CW Team

India is set to witness a substantial boost in coal-fired capacity by 2024, according to recent reports. The planned expansion, the largest in at least six years, involves the addition of approximately 56 GW of coal-fired power generation. This surge includes both projects currently under construction and those in the planning stages.

The move to increase coal-fired capacity is driven by the growing demand for energy in the country, aiming to address power supply challenges and meet the needs of a rapidly expanding economy. The proposed projects, totaling 56 GW, surpass the existing 26.4 GW currently under construction.

While the global trend leans towards renewable energy sources, India's decision to bolster coal-fired capacity reflects the nation's ongoing reliance on conventional sources to meet its energy demands. This development comes amid a broader discourse on the balance between economic growth and environmental sustainability.

The planned expansion underscores India's commitment to ensuring a stable and sufficient power supply to support its burgeoning industries and the rising energy needs of its population. However, it also raises discussions about the environmental impact and the potential challenges in achieving a more sustainable energy mix. The coming years will likely witness continued scrutiny and debate over India's energy policies as it navigates the complexities of economic development and environmental considerations.
