India anticipates no power supply disruptions despite the West Asia crisis affecting some gas-based generation. Alternative capacity is being prepared to meet peak demand. The government is also set to restart Tata Power’s 4,000 MW Mundra plant, which uses imported coal, under Section 11 of the Electricity Act.
India will launch formal trading in its domestic carbon market within the next four months, Union Power Minister Manohar Lal said. The move aims to create a structured system where companies can buy and sell carbon credits to meet emission targets, supporting the country’s push toward lower emissions and net zero by 2070.
India has reached a significant milestone, producing 1 billion tonnes of coal for the second year running. This achievement on March 20, 2026, comes amid global energy market uncertainties. The sustained high output ensures energy demand is met and supports the power sector. This performance highlights strong planning and execution, contributing to India’s economic growth.
