REUTERS/Adnan Abidi/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsCompanies Coal India Ltd FollowSINGAPORE, Sept 4 (Reuters) - India has stepped up the use of coal to generate electricity in a bid to stop outages caused by lower hydroelectricity output, and as an increase in renewables is struggling to keep pace with record power demand. Demand typically peaks in May, when Indians crank up air-conditioners to beat the heat, and industries operate without rain-related disruptions. Coal's share in power output rose to 66.7% in August - the highest for the month in six years, according to a Reuters analysis of government data. The government has repeatedly defended the use of coal citing lower per capita emissions compared with richer nations, and rising renewable energy output. India's peak demand - the maximum capacity required during any time of the day - rose to a record 243.9 gigawatts (GW) on Aug. 31, the Grid India data showed, exceeding available capacity by 7.3 GW.

Companies Coal India Ltd FollowSINGAPORE/NEW DELHI, Jan 17 (Reuters) - India's power utilities will likely boost coal imports this year to cope with surges in demand, made worse over the past year by extreme temperatures, and with freight bottlenecks that are disrupting domestic coal supplies, analysts and officials said. Coal imports by Indian utilities more than doubled to 42 million tonnes during the first eight months of this fiscal year from April, compared with the year-ago period, despite an 11.9% increase in domestic coal supplies to utilities. Reuters GraphicsExtreme weather conditions have put an additional strain on power supplies. Disruptions to coal supply lines due to rail car shortages have compounded the problem, limiting the effectiveness of increased domestic coal production. Reuters GraphicsTrains made available by the Indian Railways to Coal India (COAL.NS), which produces 80% of India's coal, have fallen short of monthly targets for at least 21 months, government data shows.
