Since the liberalisation of India’s energy sector began in the 1990s, the government has developed several novel techniques to make coal an attractive asset for investors. The pharaonic Ultra Mega Power Plant Project (UMPP) program is one such technique which secures finance capital, land, and environmental clearances for coal-fired power plants. Drawing upon the analytic of assemblage, this paper tracks how the Cheyyur UMPP, one of the largest proposed coal-fired power plants in the world, has been disassembled by a range of interdependent elements, from Right to Information (RTI) activism and environmental litigation to the perception of litigation risk and the materiality of coal. In pursuing an analysis of the events and elements which have led to the Cheyyur UMPP being disassembled, this paper calls for greater attention to the vulnerabilities, limits, and instabilities of coal assemblages.

拆解煤炭：印度南部的金融资本、环境法和知情权

自从 1990 年代开始印度能源部门的自由化以来，政府开发了多种新技术，使煤炭成为对投资者有吸引力的资产。Pharaonic Ultra Mega Power Plant Project (UMPP) 计划就是这样一种技术，可确保燃煤电厂的资金、土地和环境许可。本文利用对组装的分析，追踪了 Cheyyur UMPP（世界上最大的拟建燃煤发电厂之一）如何被一系列相互依赖的因素拆解，从信息权 (RTI) 激进主义和环境诉讼对诉讼风险的认识和煤炭的重要性。在对导致 Cheyyur UMPP 被拆解的事件和元素进行分析时，
