12 NEW DELHI: Warning of sharp inflation in the coming weeks, Congress’ Rahul Gandhi on Saturday said the Modi govt will hike the prices of petrol, diesel and LPG after the coming assembly elections, as he accused BJP of lacking strategy and direction to manage the country’s economy. Congress also accused the Modi govt of “moral cowardice” and “betrayal of civilisational values” for its “failure to condemn” the US-Israel attack on Iran.In a post on X, Rahul said the weakening of the rupee, which is “heading towards 100″ against the dollar, and a sharp rise in industrial fuel prices are signs of looming inflation.”Govt may call it ‘normal’, but the reality is: Production and transport will become more expensive, MSMEs will be hit the hardest, prices of everyday items will go up, and FII money will flow out even faster, putting more pressure on the stock market.

Representative image NEW DELHI: With India’s coal production crossing the one-billion-tonne mark for the second year in a row, govt has said adequate stocks are being maintained at thermal power plants to meet rising energy demands.India reached the one-billion-tonne coal production level on March 20. It had recorded its highest-ever coal production of 1,048 million tonnes in the 2024-25 financial year.”This significant milestone underscores India’s growing self-reliance in the energy sector and its commitment to ensuring uninterrupted fuel supply to key industries,” the ministry of coal said in a statement.The ministry added that enhanced and sustained coal production levels have enabled the country to effectively meet rising energy demands and allowed the power sector to maintain record stock levels at coal-based thermal power plants.Israel Iran WarUS-Israel-Iran War News Live Updates: Israel pounds Tehran as Iranians mark Nowruz; UAE, Kuwait defences respond to missile barrageOver 20 nations issue joint statement condemning Iran’s de facto closure of Hormuz StraitMissiles Fired Toward Diego Garcia: Iran tests long-range weapons; US rushes Marines and warshipsEarlier this month, govt recorded 200MT of coal production from commercial and captive coal mines.While more than 53 MT of coal are available at thermal power plants – enough to meet demand for nearly 23 days at the current rate of consumption – pithead coal reserves at various captive and commercial mines are estimated at about 147 MT, besides stocks in transit, at ports and in storage. According to the Central Electricity Authority, power demand this year is likely to touch 265-270GW – higher quantities of coal are required during the summer months as electricity demand surges due to increased use of ACs.
