3. Power India
India having the second highest population in the world has the world’s fifthlargest electricity generation capacity. However, still the per capita consumption of electricity is one of the lowest in the world and owing to the multifold
increase in the industrialization and other aspects of the economy the demand
of power is expected to surge in the coming years.
Due to these reasons, the power sector is high on priority for both the Government & Private bodies as it offers tremendous potential for investing companies based on the sheer size of the market and the returns available on investment capital.
The Indian power sector is one of the most diversified sectors in the world.
Power in India is generated from commercial sources like coal, lignite, natural
gas, oil, hydro and nuclear power as well as other viable non-conventional
sources like wind, solar, agriculture and domestic waste.
The demand for electricity in the country has been growing at a rapid rate and
is expected to increase further in the years to come. In order to meet the increasing requirement of electricity, massive addition to the installed generating capacity in the country is required.
In this report, country’s total installed capacity as on the month ending of September 2013 has been analyzed and depicted in the tabular as well as graphical formats.
