India's power demand may touch 275-285 GW due to heatwaves: IMD

India's power demand is expected to touch 275-285 GW this summer, driven by heatwaves, according to the India Meteorological Department. Analysts estimate demand could rise 8-12% year-on-year. While coal and renewables are likely to meet peak needs, limited gas supply amid global disruptions may strain balancing efforts during high-demand periods.
