Abstract
Coal contributes over half of India’s primary commercial energy and is likely to remain India’s most important source of energy for the coming decade or two. However, extraction and usage of coal leads to severe environmental problems within India and also contributes to climate change inducing green-house gas emissions. But the challenges of coal in India go beyond this, as the sector is plagued with governance challenges, inefficiency and allegations of corruption. This article takes a holistic view of the Indian coal sector. It summarizes the challenges produced by coal as well as the challenges that affect the sector. Furthermore, the article provides a glimpse into the perspectives of an energy future for the country with a reduced role for coal.
