Capacityaddition during the 11 th FYP is greater than total capacity addition during the previousthree FYPs together. Target capacity addition in the 12 th FYP is expected to be 94,825MW, and coal-based power plants constitute 66 per cent of the target planned.90,000Figure 3-31: Growth in power generation capacity80,000Target (MW)78,70070,00060,000Achievement (MW)56,81650,00040,00030,00020,00030,53816,42340,24519,01541,11021,81010,00008th Plan9th Plan 10th Plan 11th PlanC. Technology landscapeCurrently, coal accounts for over 56 per cent of India’s installed power generationcapacity of 114 GW. Coal-based power generation technology is constantly undergoingdevelopment, driven by the steep escalation in coal prices, growing environmentalconcerns and norms for lower emissions. Sub-critical technology is now being displacedby supercritical technology that offers reduced coal consumption and lower emissions.121
