Overview of power plants and power generation industry in India

India's economy depends heavily on its electricity generation sector. Thermal, hydro, nuclear, and renewable energy sources are among the many energy sources available in the nation. India has more than 400 GW of installed electricity capacity as of 2023.

Approximately 55% of the electricity is produced by thermal power plants, which are primarily coal-based. With a 39% NTPC bonus share, renewable energy sources like wind and solar are growing quickly. Nuclear energy is around 2% of the total, while hydropower is roughly 12%.

India wants to reach 450 GW by 2030. Government policies and incentives support renewable energy.

Increasing the effectiveness of outdated plants, lowering transmission losses, and guaranteeing a steady supply are among the difficulties. Despite these obstacles, the industry is expanding due to increased demand and government assistance. India's power generation sector is changing to sustainably supply the country's energy demands.
