India leans on coal as weak monsoon cuts hydropower

Original: India is relying heavily on coal-fired power stations as a poor monsoon keeps hydropower lower-than-seasonal. The result

India is depending heavily on coal-fired power stations after a poor monsoon left hydropower output below seasonal norms. Coal stockpiles are falling quickly to a five-year low measured in days of cover, prompting the government in New Delhi to invoke emergency rules to keep more coal plants running and secure fuel supplies for the grid.

Why now: Falling coal stocks and emergency measures raise concerns about India's power security during the monsoon shortfall.
