Coal-based utility electricity generation capacity in India is likely \u201cto peak at about 250 GW\u201d by the end of this decade, said the NITI report. It added that coal-based utility electricity generation in India will slow down, and is likely to peak a few years later, ie 2040. The NITI report said while coal-based thermal power generation will grow in absolute terms for the next decade, its share in the total power generation mix of the country will decline to a 50-55 per cent (from current 72 per cent) in the next 10 years. This, it said would be due to the changing capacity mix with increasing share of renewable energy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/livemedia.press\/product-category\/subscribe-il\/?v=56b5fbba0fe8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/telecomlive.in\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/read-more.gif\" alt=\"http:\/\/telecomlive.in\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/05\/read-more.gif\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coal will remain India\u2019s mainstay energy source.
