India’s Tata Power will not build any further coal-fired power plants, as it turns to renewable energy. Since 2013, the firm has seen a net increase in thermal power production of just 68 MW. Prior to Mercom, Nitin has worked for CNN IBN, India News, Agricultural Spectrum and Bureaucracy Today. In the same period, it has added over 2 GW of wind and solar and 246 MW of hydropower. The company is also looking at building more nuclear plants with its partner Areva. India's Central Electricity Authority estimates that coal's national energy share will decrease to 26% by 2021/22.
