OilPrice reports that India may need to revise up planned coal-fired power capacity installations through 2035 as electricity demand rises and requires more grid stability and flexibility.

The outlet says that last year India set a goal to add a total of 97 gigawatts of coal-fired capacity through 2035, targeting 307 gigawatts of installed coal capacity.

According to OilPrice, the senior Indian official made the point in remarks on Tuesday, citing the need to keep the grid stable while accommodating higher demand.
