Indian Power Generators Ramp Up Gas Purchases Amid Summer Demand Surge

India's power generation sector is accelerating natural gas procurement to address electricity demand driven by summer heat. Power firms have quadrupled their gas purchases from domestic bourses in recent weeks as cooling loads intensify across the country. The move reflects operational necessity during peak-season consumption. Thermal and gas-fired plants are competing for fuel supplies to maintain generation capacity. Industry observers attribute the purchasing spike to both immediate operational pressure and grid stabilization efforts during summer demand peaks. India's energy markets face continued strain as seasonal electricity consumption rises.
