2. history
• History
The first demonstration of electric light in Calcutta was conducted on 24
July 1879 by P W Flurry & Co. On 7 January 1897, Kilburn & Co secured the
Calcutta electric lighting license as agents of the Indian Electric Co, which
was registered in London on 15 January 1897. A month later, the company
was renamed the Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation. The control of the
company was transferred from London to Calcutta only in 1870. Enthused
by the success of electricity in Calcutta, power was thereafter introduced
in Bombay. Mumbai saw electric lighting demonstration for the first time
in 1882 at Crawford Market and Bombay Electric Supply & Tramways
Company (BEST) set up a generating station in 1905 to provide electricity
for the tramway. The first hydroelectric installation in India was installed
near a tea estate at Sidrapong for the Darjeeling Municipality in 1897. The
first electric streetlight in Asia was lit on 5 August 1905 in Bangalore. The
first electric train ran between Bombay's Victoria Terminus and Kurla along
the Harbour Line, in 1925.

3. Electricity sector in India
The utility electricity sector in India had an installed capacity of 281.423 GW as of 30
November 2015.Renewable Power plants constituted 29% of total installed capacity and Non-
Renewable Power Plants constituted the remaining 71%.
The gross electricity generation includes auxiliary power consumption of power generation
plants. India became the world's third largest producer of electricity in the year 2013 with
4.8% global share in electricity generation surpassing Japan and Russia.
During the year 2014-15, the per capita electricity generation in India was 1,010 kWh with
total electricity consumption (utilities and non utilities) of 938.823 billion or 746 kWh per
capita electricity consumption.
Electric energy consumption in agriculture was recorded highest (18.45%) in 2014-15 among
all countries. The per capita electricity consumption is lower compared to many countries
despite cheaper electricity tariff in India.
In order to address the lack of adequate electricity availability to all the people in the country
by the platinum jubilee (2022) year of India's independence, Government of India under
Narendra Modi as Prime Minister has launched a scheme called "Power for All". This scheme
will ensure that there is 24/7 continuous electricity supply provided to all households,
industries ,etc.
