Long seen as driving global coal growth, IEA now says India will add just 25GW by 2040
The result? Global coal capacity will fall.

@IEA That's the outlook in the IEA "STEPS", a scenario based only on current policies + firmly backed targets.
If India – & the world – want to move towards well-below 2C, then India's coal capacity should fall by some 40% by 2040…

@IEA According to #WEO20 the picture for coal power generation in India is even more stark under the SDS, where it falls to 84% below current levels by 2040.
