India's power plants burn through coal stocks as hydro output slumps

Original: India’s power plants are exhausting coal inventories as generators rush to offset weak hydro Stockpiles at power plants

Coal inventories at Indian power plants have fallen to a three-year low as generators increase coal-fired output to compensate for weak hydroelectric generation. The government has ordered all captive coal plants above 50 megawatts to run at full capacity in an effort to head off a possible power shortage, raising concerns about grid reliability during periods of high electricity demand.

Why now: Falling coal stockpiles and government emergency measures raise fears of a power shortage in India.
