Thermal power generation in India is set to increase manifold shows an analysis of data from the Union Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF). The country’s total thermal capacity as of April 2011 is 113,000 MW. This capacity is proposed to be increased to 701,820 MW, which is six times the present capacity. The proposed capacity addition is also three times the capacity addition requirement projected for 2032. As India's energy demand grows there seems to be no cheaper alternative to coal-fired thermal plants.
