Lack of coal reserves in thermal plants
According to data from the Central Electricity Authority of India, the country is facing a shortage of coal reserves in thermal plants, which could lead to a power crisis.

India is the second-largest producer of coal
India is the second-largest country in the world in terms of coal production. According to the Global Energy Statistical Yearbook 2021, China is at the forefront of coal production. China produces 3,743 million tonnes of coal every year. At the same time, India is at number two by producing 779 million tonnes of coal every year. Despite this, India has to import 20 to 25% of its coal requirement from other countries. The reason for this is the high consumption of electricity in the country.
