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:

ALT A PIB Fact Check graphic debunking a viral tweet about India’s power grid. The image has a screenshot of a tweet by an X user @jcrajan00 claiming that peak demand hit 277 GW, thermal plants have critical coal stocks, and the grid is near failure. A "MISLEADING" stamp is overlaid on the tweet. The header reads: "Claims made in this tweet regarding India’s power grid are Misleading."
