INDIAN POWER SECTOR: CURRENT SCENARIO & FUTURE GROWTH

摘要

Availability of energy had always been a major factor in socio-economic growth of any country and hence it is prudent to take a broader look of power scenario in Indian context. Since inception of independent modern India, we have come a long way in every sector of business and society. Power sector also is not exception to it. From the per capita consumption 16kWh in 1947, now our demand has grown almost 80 times to 1,181 kWh and to cater to this we enhanced our installed capacity 350 times - from 1,362 MW in 1947 to 361 GW in 2019.
