A Praiseworthy Progress in Our Power Sector

摘要

As far as the Indian Power Sector is concerned, a lot has changed in the last few years. Today we can proudly pronounce that India is the third largest electricity producer across the globe. Also, if we consider our renewable generation capacities, then we are the fifth largest hydropower producer and the third largest solar power producer in the globe. Under the regime of the current union government, India has transformed from a power-deficit country (2013) to a power-surplus one. As on date, our installed generation capacity is around 379 Giga Watt, which is more than adequate to serve the electricity peak demand of 190 GW. However, our prudent government has also made plans to have sufficient generation capacity to meet future demand of electricity.
