India's coal stockpiles hit three-year low as hydro falters

Original: India’s power plants are exhausting coal inventories as generators rush to offset weak hydro Stockpiles at power plants

India's power plants are running down coal inventories to a three-year low as generators burn more coal to make up for weak hydroelectric output. The government has ordered all captive coal plants above 50 MW to run at full capacity to head off a potential power shortage, highlighting the strain on the country's electricity supply during the current demand season.

Why now: A government mandate forcing captive coal plants to maximum output signals fears of an imminent power shortage.
