India considers mandatory imported coal blending at power plants

The proposal follows recent coal stockpile shortfalls at many plants tied to logistics problems, and would mark India’s first such mandate since 2024 if adopted.

India is weighing ideas to require imported coal blending at power plants after coal stocks at many facilities crumbled in recent months, Reuters reports, citing government sources familiar with the discussions.

According to the report, the issues were linked to logistics challenges, prompting officials to consider a mandate for power plants to blend imported coal with their fuel supply.

If India moves forward with the requirement, Reuters says it would be the first time it has imposed mandatory blending since 2024.
