Over the past 15 years, India’s energy sector has been on a transformative journey — one marked by infrastructure, innovation, and inclusion.
⚡ Capacity Expansion
Installed capacity has tripled, from 159 GW in 2010 to nearly 485 GW in 2025, ensuring grid resilience, regional coverage, and demand matching.
🌿 Renewable Revolution
India has successfully rebalanced its energy mix:
- From 64:36 (non-renewable to renewable) in 2010
- To a balanced 50:50 share in 2025
This marks a strategic shift toward sustainable generation in line with climate goals.
🏗️ Private Sector Emergence
In 2010, government entities controlled over 80% of installed capacity. Today, private players hold 55%, including a dominant 76% share in renewable energy.
This shift has catalyzed capital efficiency, innovation, and scale.
✅ Zero Deficit Milestone
A major milestone: India has erased its power deficit, from over 10% in 2009–10 to 0% in 2024–25.
🔧 What Lies Ahead
With supply in check, the next wave of value lies in:
- Reducing Transmission & Distribution (T&D) losses (~20%)
- Scaling storage, smart grids, and renewable infra
India’s energy shift is not just quantitative — it’s structural and strategic.
It’s time for investors, policymakers, and citizens to power forward with purpose.
