India readies gas power fleet to prevent summer blackouts

India is mandating increased gas-fired power generation to meet surging electricity demand this summer, driven by soaring temperatures. The government’s emergency measures, effective until June 30, aim to ensure uninterrupted power supply, particularly during peak demand periods. Gas plants will receive two-week notices to arrange fuel, with assured offtake and payment security.
