India anticipates a 9.3% increase in power generation to 1,900 billion kWh by March 2025, the fastest growth since 2011/12. Factors include searing heatwaves, economic activity uptick, and projected above-average monsoon rains. Fossil fuel-fired power is expected to dominate, with coal and natural gas generation increasing.
India's power generation grew at the fastest pace in over three decades in the just-ended fiscal year, a Reuters analysis of government data showed, fuelling a sharp surge in emissions as output from both coal-fired and renewable plants hit records.
