India has extended a mandate on imported coal-based power plants to operate at full capacity until Oct. 15 to meet anticipated high demand for electricity in the summer months, according to a government order seen by Reuters.
The order, dated Friday, invoked an emergency clause available to the government in directing the companies, including Tata Power and Adani Power, operating such imported coal fired plants with a capacity of nearly 16 gigawatts to continue operations.
