India's Power Sector Thrives Amid Global Volatility, Surging Domestic Demand
•India's power sector remains stable despite global energy market volatility, driven by strong domestic consumption.
•Demand across industrial, commercial, agricultural, and residential segments is robust, with power demand rising from 220 GW to 235 GW.
•Electricity consumption grew 7.4% annually (FY21-FY25) and is projected to expand 6-6.5% through the decade, fueled by cooling demand, EVs, and industrial growth.
•Global gas shortages have shifted demand to grid power, strengthening overall consumption and aiding domestic volume growth.
•The sector is undergoing heavy investment in transmission infrastructure and a transition to renewables, with peak demand expected to reach 335-366 GW by 2030.
