Rising power demand, transmission & distribution
(T&D) network expansion and upgradation, and
reduction in energy intensity are some of the growing
opportunities in India’s power industry. With the
government’s focus on enabling 24/7 electricity
supply and on transforming the energy mix, the sector
is poised to witness significant growth. However,
the nation continues to face several key challenges
such as fuel supply, timely investments and execution
of transmission, intermittency & load-balancing as
proportion of renewables increase, counter-party risk
posed by distribution companies, monopoly restrictions
on open access, and the availability of project finance.
Improvement in power supply position
• Meeting record demand: During FY 2024-25,
India catered to a peak power demand of 250 GW.
•
 Sharp reduction in power shortages: Owing to
significant addition in power generation and
transmission capacities, energy shortages at the
national level reduced to 0.10% in FY 2024‑25,
as compared with a shortage of 4.20% in
FY 2013-14.

 Increase in per capita electricity consumption:
Per capita electricity consumption in India
increased to 1,395 kWh in FY 2023-24,
indicating an increase of 45.80% or 438
kWh over electricity consumption of 957 kWh
recorded in FY 2013-14.
• Universal electrification: With the launch of
Pradhan Mantri Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana
– Saubhagya in 2017, all states in India
reported 100% electrification of all villages by
March 31, 2021.
•
 Improved power availability: There is a drastic
improvement in the reliability and reach of
electricity services in India between FY 2013‑14
and FY 2023-24. In rural areas, the average
availability of electricity has drastically
increased from 12.50 hours in FY 2013-14 to
22.60 hours in FY 2024-25. On the other hand,
urban areas enjoy up to 23.40 hours of power
supply in FY 2024-25, as compared to 22.10
hours in FY 2013-14.
