The rapidly rising electricity demand is leading to more coal power plants. So much so, India now has the largest number of coal power plants under construction and in the pipeline after China, says a Global Energy Monitor report. The pre-construction capacities are estimated to have risen to 46,033 megawatts (MW). After India, Bangladesh and Indonesia have the largest number of coal power projects.
