India added 4GW of new coal-fired power capacity in 2024, highlighting the country's continued reliance on coal despite growing renewable energy installations.
India ’s annual installations of new coal-fired power capacity hit 4 gigawatts GW in 2024, flat on the five-year high of 2023 and the highest level since 2019, according to official government figures. India , where coal meets more than 70% of the power generation , has kept its coal capacity additions this year near the 2023 levels, per data from the country’s Central Electricity Authority cited by Bloomberg on Thursday.
India is the second-largest coal consumer of coal in the world and a sizeable producer as it seeks to satisfy more of its demand for the energy commodity with domestic production as demand keeps growing at a healthy pace. Despite booming renewable capacity additions, India continues to rely on coal to meet most of its power demand as authorities also look to avoid blackouts in cases of severe heat waves.
