Energy Scenario in India
• The utility electricity sector in India has one National Grid with an installed capacity
of 330.86 GW as on 31 December 2017.[4] Renewable power plants constituted 31.7%
of total installed capacity.
• During the fiscal year 2016-17, the gross electricity generated by utilities in India was
1,236.39 TWh and the total electricity generation (utilities and non utilities
[independent power producers]) in the country was 1,433.4 TWh.[3][5]
• 1 kiloWatt -1000 Wh, 1 megaWatt - 1,000,000 Wh
• 1 gigaWatt - 1,000,000,000 Wh, 1 teraWatt - 1,000,000,000,000 Wh
• The gross electricity consumption was 1,122 kWh per capita in the year 2016-17.[3]
India is the world's third largest producer and fourth largest consumer of
electricity.[6][7] Electric energy consumption in agriculture was recorded highest
(17.89%) in 2015-16 among all countries.[3] The per capita electricity consumption is
low compared to many countries despite cheaper electricity tariff in India.[8]
• India has surplus power generation capacity but lacks adequate infrastructure for
supplying electricity to all needy people. In order to address the lack of adequate
electricity supply to all the people in the country by March 2019, the Government of
India launched a scheme called "Power for All".[9] This scheme will ensure continuous
and uninterrupted electricity supply to all households, industries and commercial
establishments by creating and improving necessary infrastructure. Its a joint
collaboration of the Government of India with states to share funding and create
overall economic growth.[10][11]
