India has announced a coal-fired power generation capacity cap of 307 gigawatts (GW) by 2035, effectively locking in current projects without signalling a phase-out strategy. This move extends the existing thermal development trajectory while aligning with the 2030 target of 500 GW of non-fossil capacity.
