NEW DELHI, April 15 — At ‌least 17 people died and 36 others were injured following a suspected boiler explosion at a power plant ‌operated by India’s Vedanta Ltd in the central Indian state of Chhattisgarh, a government official said today.

Operations at the 600-megawatt coal plant were suspended after the blast, senior administration official Amrit Vikas Topno told Reuters.The ‌shutdown of the plant comes as India ⁠is poised for a harsher ⁠summer. The government has ⁠delayed the maintenance of nearly ⁠10 gigawatt ⁠of coal plant capacity in the absence of gas supplies due to the Mideast conflict.

The ⁠blast was likely caused by overheating in the boiler tube, District Superintendent of Police PK Thakur told Reuters. In a statement, Vedanta said an “unfortunate incident” had occurred at its Singhitarai plant ⁠and that a thorough investigation is underway to determine the cause.

Vedanta acquired the ⁠1,200 ⁠MW coal power plant through a bankruptcy process in 2022. Only 600 MW of the plant has ‌been operational. — Reuters
