Coal Shortage in India..!? pakistan formula used here..?

Since it is summer in india, it has become impossible for people to live without an electric fan and AC. However, the government of india and the State Governments do not have enough coal to generate the electricity needed to run these. About 71 percent of India's electricity needs are met by coal. The remaining 31 percent of electricity demand comes from gas, solar power, and wind power. In this context, the government of india has decided to increase production at gas-fired power plants to meet the current power shortage. Only 4% of India's electricity needs are met by gas.
 Ukraine - russia war continues to push up gas prices. It is also said that it is more expensive to produce electricity from gas at this time. However, the federal government plans to import gas cargo with the help of Gail. The first cargo is expected to be imported by the end of May.In pakistan, too, it is now summer, and the week of Ramadan has been filled with gas-borne electricity to alleviate power shortages. It has now called for a tender to buy 2 more cargo gas in June. Now following in Pakistan's footsteps, india is also said to have decided to use gas, though more expensive, to reduce power shortages.
