Coal india consistently
missed production targets
and growth targets.
Poor coal transport

and consumer-level losses
11. Lack of clean and reliable energy sources
800 million people in india to continue using fuel wood,
agricultural waste and livestock dung – for cooking and other
domestic needs.
Causes between 300,000 to 400,000 deaths per year and other
chronic health issues.
12. 12. India's coal-fired, oil-fired and natural gas-fired
thermal power plants are inefficient :-
It offer significant potential for greenhouse gas (CO2)
emission reduction through better technology.
Compared to average emissions from coal-fired, oil-
fired and natural gas-fired thermal power plants in
European Union (EU-27) countries, India's thermal
power plants emit 50% to 120% more CO2 per kWh
produced .
