India's hydropower generation significantly dropped in June due to a delayed monsoon. Shrinking reservoir levels limited water availability for electricity production. Coal, nuclear, and renewable energy plants increased output to meet demand. Recent rains have improved monsoon progress, potentially reviving hydropower generation. Electricity demand has also softened after the summer heatwave subsided.

El Niño's impact leads to low rainfall and high humidity, boosting India's coal-fired power generation amid rising electricity demand.

El Nino and the resultant weak monsoon has had an impact on India’s hydropower output, which has dropped by more than 20% in June. The dry weather, which is associated with El…
