India is facing major power shortage, as the country’s coal supplies dwindle. Electricity demand has surged since 2019, while the price of coal has also rocketed to near record highs. Now several states are looking at introducing mass blackouts to save energy reserves.
Meanwhile, the Modi government is insisting the country has enough coal to supply its power plants. Coal prices shot up after heavy monsoon rains closed mines and disrupted transport networks.
