Monsoon has caused havoc in India through what has been described as flash floods and torrential downpour in many areas of the country while it cut power demand by reducing necessary cooling and agriculture water uses. The monsoon was advance in some regions particularly in Kerala and northeast but after June 9, 2021, the monsoon was almost stagnant and came on time in the northwest India which includes the capital Delhi and economic hub of India that is Mumbai the cities which received record level rainfall from monsoon. The period of a pinnacle of power demand that was 250GW on 30th of May has subsided below 220 GW and at one point in the 6th of July it was at 198 GW. Recent rains began to help fill the water catchment that is already 79% lesser than the same period last year and 90% less than the average of a decade ago in mid-July. Out of the above, hydropower projects that rely on the establishment of rain-fed reservoirs are likely to benefit. Currently, coal availability for power plants is still sufficient, and even though the monsoon was delayed last year which affected the demand, an increase of the same by around 6 percent in the second and third quarters of the FY25 is expected. 5%. The IMD expects above normal rainfall in July because of the shift from El Niño to neutral phase; the latter part of the monsoon season is likely to have formation of La Niña leading to floods.
