India will boost fuel imports after gas-fired power stations were asked to increase output to meet soaring demand during the summer months.
Gail India Ltd. will tap the seaborne market to supply state-run power producer NTPC Ltd., which has been asked by the government to run 5 gigawatts of plants to meet peak demand during April and May, according to people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named as the details are private.
