A post circulating on social media platforms claims that India is facing a severe power crisis and grid failures due to coal shortages.

⚠️ These claims are #Misleading & aim to create unnecessary panic.

✅The maximum peak demand on 02 May 2026 was 229 GW and was met completely, and there was no shortage.

✅The total coal stock with Thermal Power Plants currently stands at 53.702 million tonnes, which is sufficient to meet requirements.

✅The power availability in the country is sufficient, and the grid operations and distribution are being managed as per well-laid-out plans.

✅The existing frequency control defence mechanisms provide sufficient operational margin to enable secure grid operations.

➡️If you come across any such misleading content related to the Government of India, report it immediately:
