April nighttime peak demand is expected to hit 217 gigawatts (GW), up 6.4% on the highest nighttime levels recorded in April last year. "Even the smallest interruption in power supply will create havoc," Nair said. As much as 189.2 GW of coal-fired capacity is expected to be available this April, according to Grid-India's February note. The strain comes after sundown, as coal-fired capacity has grown only 9% over the last five years. Hydro and nuclear power capacity additions face tougher obstacles, as they are hobbled by lack of foreign investment and opposition from critics over safety and environmental issues, boding ill for power supply down the track.

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.
