How much of electricity India is constributed ?
Answers
Answer:
India is the world's third largest producer and third largest consumer of electricity.[6][7] The national electric grid in India has an installed capacity of 373.029 GW as of 30 September 2020.[3] Renewable power plants, which also include large hydroelectric plants, constitute 36.17% of India's total installed capacity. During the 2018-19 fiscal year, the gross electricity generated by utilities in India was 1,372 TWh and the total electricity generation (utilities and non utilities) in the country was 1,547 TWh.[5][8] The gross electricity consumption in 2018-19 was 1,181 kWh per capita.[5] In 2015-16, electric energy consumption in agriculture was recorded as being the highest (17.89%) worldwide.[5] The per capita electricity consumption is low compared to most other countries despite India having a low electricity tariff.[9]
India has a surplus power generation capacity but lacks adequate distribution infrastructure. To address this, the Government of India launched a program called "Power for All" in 2016.[10] The program was accomplished by December 2018 in providing the necessary infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted electricity supply to all households, industries, and commercial establishments.[11] Funding was made through a collaboration between the Government of India and its constituent states.[12][13]
India's electricity sector is dominated by fossil fuels, in particular coal, which during the 2018-19 fiscal year produced about three-quarters of the country's electricity. The government is making efforts to increase investment in renewable energy. The government's National Electricity Plan of 2018 states that the country does not need more non-renewable power plants in the utility sector until 2027, with the commissioning of 50,025 MW coal-based power plants under construction and addition of 275,000 MW total renewable power capacity after the retirement of nearly 48,000 MW old coal-fired plants.[14][15] It is expected that non-fossil fuels generation contribution is likely to be around 44.7% of the total gross electricity generation by the year 2029-30.[16]

Answer:
The country's installed power generating capacity of 334.4 gigawatt (GW, or 1,000 megawatts) as of January 2018 is the world's fifth-largest. Over the last five years, India put up 99.21 GW of additional capacity. Of this, 91.73 GW came from thermal sources, 5.48 GW from hydro, and 2 GW from nuclear sources.
