Why Grid India is turning to more gas-based power
Grid India has advised gas-based power stations to prepare for increased generation due to anticipated low rainfall during the June–September monsoon. This decision is based on projected demand, outages, and weather forecasts from the Indian Meteorological Department. The advisory highlights the need for additional gas-fired generation beyond the existing 2.6 GW capacity, with a review planned for late June 2026 to reassess the situation.
