Informs M Rajagopalan, Market Development Director, Middle East, Asia and Australia,Wartsila, in an interview with Monica Chaturvedi Charna.
How do you see the potential of coal and gas-based hybrid solutions in India and what are the key challenges?
The potential is huge because it is based on the premise that the solution is available for dispatch all time round, and gas-based flexible generation gives that certainty. Coal and gas-based hybrid solutions give the right balancing which is needed with other generation sources like hydro, wind and solar.
Currently, international gas prices are low and the govt is planning to import nearly 60-70 mmscmd capacity to revive stalled projects. But this is not a consistent trend and India has not been able to generate the targeted capacity of gas. What needs to be done to make the sector more stable?
