💨 Abstract

India has extended the mandate for imported coal-fired power plants to operate at full capacity until the end of April, due to high demand for electricity in the country. The extension comes as India's power ministry expects electricity demand to reach 270 gigawatts during the upcoming summer season, an increase from last year's 250 GW. The national weather office has also forecast above-average temperatures in March across most regions, following a warmer February.
