India’s power generation sector is witnessing accelerated operational growth, driven by rising electricity demand, expanding renewable energy deployment, and stronger thermal generation output. The latest operational data shows total installed capacity reaching 13,454 MW, with renewable energy accounting for 7,796 MW, or 58 per cent of the portfolio, while thermal assets contribute 5,658 MW. The company’s total locked-in generation capacity has now climbed to 32.1 GW, underlining its long-term expansion ambitions.

India’s power distribution sector has achieved a significant reduction in legacy dues, with outstanding payments from discoms falling from Rs 1.39 lakh crore in June 2022 to just Rs 3,300 crore as of March 2026. The dramatic decline is attributed to the implementation of the Electricity (Late Payment Surcharge and Related Matters) Rules, 2022, which restructured arrears into Equated Monthly Installments (EMIs).
