After India connected fewer and fewer new coal-fired power plants to the grid in recent years, the country plans to build significantly more coal-fired power again. A total of 15.4 gigawatts are to be added by March 2025. This would be the highest increase in the last nine years and twice as much as in 2024, Bloomberg reported on Monday, citing anonymous sources. According to official information, power plants for 90 gigawatts of coal-fired power are to be built by 2032.
