India's coal plants may hinder Paris climate goals: US study

India's plan to build nearly 370 coal-fired power plants may "single-handedly jeopardise" the planet's effort to achieve Paris Agreement's goals of limiting global warming, US researchers have warned. Coal power plants contributed to 41% of global carbon dioxide emissions in 2015, researchers said, adding that if India produced 40% power from non-fossil sources, electricity demands would be met.
