India has 51 days coal stocks to meet power demand; production recovers after monsoon disruption
India’s Central Electricity Authority reported that 53 thermal power plants were operating with coal inventories at or below 25% of their total needs, indicating a shortfall. Despite this, coal production has rebounded after monsoon‑related disruptions. The country now has about 51 days of coal reserves to satisfy power demand, helping to stabilize the grid. This development reduces the risk of blackouts and supports the transition to energy sources.
