There is no decline in power generation from coal based plants during 2013-14. The reason for decline in generation from gas based plants is due to less supply of gas from KG D-6 basin.

 The details of power generation from coal and gas during the first half of 2013-14 (April-September, 2013) as compared to the previous year 2012-13 for the same period, April-September, 2012 are as below:
