COP28 signals coal is staying longer as India presses for energy security

COP28 offered India a stronger platform to argue for coal as a long-term necessity, contrasting developed nations that rely more on oil and gas. India maintained that coal will help meet rising energy demand while renewable capacity expands. The takeaway: the transition to cleaner power is underway, but not at the cost of immediate energy security.

Coal power plants designed for imports now face trials with domestic blends

Coal power plants designed for imports now face trials with domestic blends

Trials are underway on 10 coal power units totaling about 18,000 MW to test whether plants originally built for imported coal can operate on local coal blends. The exercise focuses on operational feasibility, measuring effects on efficiency, combustion characteristics and equipment performance—key to shifting supply without compromising output.
