The geo-political situation brought on by the Russia-Ukraine war has resulted in supply chain constraints, rising energy prices, and pushing inflation to highest-ever levels in several countries, despite India's optimism regarding green energy options as it strives to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070.

India must continue to rely on thermal energy derived from coal due to a combination of all these factors.

Nirmala Sitharaman, the minister of finance for the union, has stated that the government is worried about the uncertainty in the energy sector.

She pointed out that due to global uncertainties and supply chain interruptions, India will soon need to rely more heavily on coal, just like many other countries.
