India faces a challenge in building more power capacity to meet growing demand, as the country plans to double coal production and add 88 gigawatts of thermal power plants by 2032. This move may seem counterintuitive for India, which is highly vulnerable to climate impacts. However, Prime Minister Narendra Modi is keen to avoid power shortages as the country heads into elections.
A new federal government timeline outlines plans to strike agreements on installations of a total of 50 gigawatts of solar and wind projects during the year through March 2024. That compares with an average of 15 gigawatts auctioned annually in the last five fiscal years, according to BloombergNEF.
