India's Coal Power Generation Rises 25.7% in October Amid Hydropower Decline
India's coal-fired power generation rose 25.7% year-on-year in October, marking the fastest increase in three years, driven by a 26% decline in hydropower output due to weaker rainfall linked to the El Niño pattern. Industrial electricity demand also contributed to higher coal use. Renewable energy generation grew 34.7%, led by a 62% rise in solar power, but clean energy's share fell to about 15% as coal's share increased to 71.7%. Total electricity generation rose 21.1% to 172.53 billion kWh.
