UNSTARRED QUESTION NO.800
ANSWERED ON 24.07.2025
INSTALLED POWER DISPARITIES
800. DR. SHASHI THAROOR:
Will the Minister of POWER
be pleased to state:
(a) whether regional disparities regarding installed power capacity persist in some
States in the country even though as of early 2025, India’s installed power capacity
stands at four lakh sixty-two thousand sixty-five megawatt and if so, the details
thereof;
(b) the details of the current power deficit percentages, especially compared to
regions like the State of Gujarat which have met their energy demands consistently
since 2019-20, State-wise;
(c) the analysis regarding the manner in which these regional disparities impact
the overall surplus and the effectiveness of the current transmission infrastructure;
and
(d) whether any specific short-term and long-term remedial measures are planned
to strengthen transmission networks in deficit-prone States and if so, the details
thereof
A N S W E R
THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF POWER
(SHRI SHRIPAD NAIK)
(a) : The Installed generation capacity of the country as on 30.06.2025 is 484.81 GW.
The development of generation capacity is guided by a range of factors, including the
availability of fuel sources, logistics, resource potential, demand growth and the
readiness of associated infrastructure. The details of States/UTs and source-wise
installed capacity are given at Annexure-I.
(b) : States/UTs/Regions-wise details of Power Supply Position in terms of Energy for
the period from FY 2019-20 to FY 2024-25 and current FY 2025-26 (upto June, 2025),
including Gujarat are given at Annexure-II.
(c) & (d): India’s national transmission infrastructure is adequately developed to
ensure reliable power flow across regions. A robust National Grid has been established
to facilitate the transfer of power from power surplus regions to power deficit regions
thereby mitigating the impact of regional disparities on overall power availability. As
a result, imbalances in power supply and demand due to locational constraints are
effectively managed without significant transmission bottlenecks. The capacity of
National Grid is being expanded on a continuous basis commensurate with the growth
in electricity generation and electricity demand. The inter-regional transmission
capacity has been increased from 75,050 MW during 2016-17 to 1,20,340 MW as on
June 2025 which is planned to increase to 1,43,000 MW by the year 2027 and further
to 1,68,000 MW by the year 2032.
