The Indian Power Industry is one of the largest and most important industries in India as it fulfils the energy requirements of various other industries. It is one of the most critical components of infrastructure that affects economic growth and the well-being of the nation.

India has the world’s 5th largest electricity generation capacity and it is the 6th largest energy consumer accounting for 3.4% of global energy consumption. Due to the fast-paced growth of the Indian economy, the country’s energy demand has grown at an average of 3.6% p.a. over the past 30 years.

The Government is investing in this industry through various development schemes like Rajeev Gandhi Rural Electrification Program, ‘Power for all by 2012′ and Accelerated Power Development and Reform Programme (ARDRP), Ultra Mega Power Projects etc. It has also been encouraging participation from Private players in this sector.

Renewable energy sources are also being encouraged to consider the growing environmental concerns. Hence, the future prospects of nuclear power, hydro power and power from renewable energy sources are also good

Looking at the above points, the long term future prospects of the Indian Power Sector appear to be EXCELLENT.
