India Orders 112 Captive Coal Plants to Run at Full Capacity as Power Demand Rises
India ordered 112 captive coal plants, including those owned by Vedanta, Tata Steel, and Reliance Industries, to run at full capacity until December 31 to meet rising electricity demand. The directive, under emergency provisions, requires plants to sell surplus power through exchanges and report weekly on generation and coal stocks. The move aims to address increased demand and limited coal inventories, with nearly 40% of coal plants operating with critically low fuel stocks.
