missed production targets
and growth targets.
Poor coal transport

11. Lack of clean and reliable energy sources
800 million people in india to continue using fuel wood,
agricultural waste and livestock dung – for cooking and other
domestic needs.
Causes between 300,000 to 400,000 deaths per year and other
chronic health issues.
12. 12. India's coal-fired, oil-fired and natural gas-fired
thermal power plants are inefficient :-
It offer significant potential for greenhouse gas (CO2)
emission reduction through better technology.
Compared to average emissions from coal-fired, oil-
fired and natural gas-fired thermal power plants in
European Union (EU-27) countries, India's thermal
power plants emit 50% to 120% more CO2 per kWh
produced .
