INDIA may ease a deadline to cut pollution from coal-fired power plants blamed for causing the world's worst air quality amid pressure from generators who say it's too difficult to implement the US$37 billion reforms.
The deadline to meet all the new standards may be extended beyond the original December 2017 target, said SD Dubey, chairman of the Central Electricity Authority and head of the panel drafting the road map for power producers to meet the new guidelines. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government proposed the limits on toxic emissions in December 2015.
