News on power sector

Private ownership has become the centre of gravity in India’s installed fleet, and the latest News on power sector data make the shift hard to ignore.

Utilities plus captive capacity now stand at 522.9 GW. Within utility capacity of roughly 442 GW, private developers control about 230 GW, overtaking central and state ownership combined. This change sits behind much of today’s News on power sector — from bidding behaviour to how projects are financed.

The renewables story is even more private-led. Renewables excluding large hydro have reached 143.6 GW after more than quadrupling since 2014. Yet thermal remains the reliability anchor, with 243.2 GW of capacity and over three-quarters of the 1,734 TWh utility generation in FY 2023-24. That is the balancing act inside News on power sector.

The parallel shift is captive power. Captive installed capacity is 80.9 GW, and captive generation supplied 224 TWh, taking total national generation to 1,958 TWh. For DISCOMs, the loss of high-paying industrial demand changes the arithmetic of fixed network costs. For operators, it complicates forecasting and balancing. That is why News on power sector is increasingly linked to open access design, DSM discipline, and charge rationalisation under Power sector reforms.

Per-capita consumption is now 1,400 kWh, up 5.2% year-on-year, while the network footprint has expanded beyond 14.7 million circuit kilometres. Losses have moderated to 17.6% of available energy, but regional gaps keep News on renewable energy and Renewable projects tied to delivery, not just capacity, Private Power, Captive Power, Renewables, Thermal Power, Open Access, DSM, DISCOM, Power Markets.Get the verified story once on EnergylineIndia.com.
