8India transacted 1,707 BU of electricity in 2025-26, yet only 17.7% reached short-term markets. Real-time prices fell to Rs.3.30/unit, but coal still set the tempo - and green power lagged. Details
8After Delhi, the coal ministry takes its gasification pitch to Hyderabad - the bid to recast coal not as a fuel to be burned for power, but as a feedstock for methanol, ammonia and synthetic gas. Amid falling output and a heavy import bill, it is a wager on extracting more value from every tonne. Details
8New rules let private players run competitive coal-trading platforms under a state regulator - a quiet but consequential break from the producer-sets-the-price model that has defined Indian coal for decades. Details
8CIL mined less coal in May yet moved more of it. The exchequer numbers look grim but tell the opposite story. And beneath the monthly noise, India's energy mix is quietly shifting. Details
8The company that cracks India's coal import substitution puzzle stands to capture the biggest untapped market in the energy sector right now.
8India produced a record 1,047 million tonnes of coal in FY25, yet spent Rs.2.49 lakh crore importing 243 million tonnes from abroad. This paradox is creating the single biggest business opportunity in India's energy sector - and the race to capture it has already begun. Details
8Chhattisgarh's state-owned power generation company skipped its Annual General Meeting for FY 2023-24, leaving financial statements unapproved and unregistered - a brazen violation of the Companies Act, 2013, auditors warn. Details
8RVPN has filed detailed fixed asset registers, work-in-progress lists, and project cost reports with RERC, as part of its demerger plan to transfer transmission assets worth hundreds of crores to a new company, RTIL. Details

8Global EV sales top 20 million in 2025 as one in four new cars goes electric, IEA finds
The IEA's Global EV Outlook 2026 reports that electric-car sales grew 20% globally to exceed 20 million in 2025 — meaning one-quarter of all new cars sold were electric — while almost 22 million electric cars were produced, a more than 25% rise on the prior year. Chinese automakers supplied 60% of global EV sales, with European and North American makers each around 15%, and in China 70% of battery-electric cars sold in 2025 were already cheaper than the average conventional car. The agency projects sales will rise about 20% further in 2026.

8Gas dependence could add up to Rs. 120 euros a year to European power bills, IEEFA estimates
An IEEFA analysis dated 9 June 2026 estimates that a 60% rise in wholesale electricity prices above pre-February 2026 levels could increase European household electricity bills by up to Rs. 120 euros a year. Households in Italy, Ireland and the UK are most exposed because gas dominates power-price formation in those markets, while capacity mechanisms and subsidies keep gas plants artificially online. The report argues that more energy storage and demand-side flexibility would reduce gas's role and help lower European electricity prices.
