India has lost about 7 billion units in power generation during April-June this year, while about 2.9 billion units due to shortage of coal and 4 billion units on the back of shortage of gas. This records a peak power shortage of about 9 percent loss from April-June this year.
There is an overall shortage of power in the country in terms of energy and peaking power. According to the official data, the government has planned to generate around 920,000 million units (MUs) of electricity this fiscal. Out of the total, 760,000 MUs would be from coal-based plants.
The government might also start gearing for hydro power potential of the country by adding about 122,000 MUs during the same period. It also plans to import 5,000 MUs of electricity from Bhutan during the fiscal, the data noted.
