The Indian power industry is now getting to grips with addressing new stringent emissions requirements for coal plants. The Indian market for air quality control equipment and supporting ancillaries is expected to enjoy explosive growth.

Coal is critical to India's electricity needs, mostly due to energy security concerns. Coal accounts for 61% of installed capacity and 75% of electricity generation in the country. An estimated 70.5 GW of coal-fired power is in various phases of development. The Indian Ministry of Environment & Forests (MOE&F) has adopted stringent new regulations to restrict NOx, SO2, particulate matter, and mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants in response to international pressures, COP 21 compliance obligations, and India's own green program.

The new regulations go into effect in 2017, giving compliance a very short timeframe.
