Description
Description | India's power demand is projected to rise by 5.0-5.5 percent in the fiscal year 2026-27, driven by industrial, commercial, agricultural, and household sectors. Emerging sources such as electric vehicles and data centers will also contribute to this growth. The thermal power sector is expected to maintain a steady plant load factor around 65 percent, supported by renewable energy growth and additional thermal capacity. Distribution companies face challenges due to high debt and muted tariff hikes, impacting their profitability. |
