2.0 Indian Power and Electrical Equipment Industry
2.1 Indian Power Sector
Power is a necessary fuel for a growing economy. The Indian
economy is on a rising path
targeting GDP growth rate of 8-9%. To achieve this growth, it is
imperative that the properpower infrastructure is in place.
India has the fifth-largest generation capacity in the world
with an installed capacity of over
199 GW, as on 31st March, 20126 and is also the sixth-largest
electricity consumer,
accounting for 3.4% of total global consumption. Indias total
consumption in 2009 was
estimated at 632 TWh. This is expected to increase to 2,465 TWh
by 20357.
The industrial sector, due to increasing capacity additions, has
the highest demand for
electricity across all sectors and is expected to remain high.
The domestic and commercial
sectors are likely to experience a steady demand for
electricity, but the share of agriculture
is expected to see a decline in the coming years8.
2.1.1 Generation
2.1.1.1 Thermal energy accounts for the major share of
generation in India. Share of wind and
other renewable forms of energy currently stands at around 12%
of the total installed
capacity. Government plans to increase the share of power
generated from renewable
sources in the coming Plans. India currently stands as the 5th
largest and 3rd largest producer
in the world of hydro and wind energy respectively.
2.1.1.2 With envisioned capacity additions, India is expected to
reach an installed capacity of 400
GW by 2022. This increase will be in line with the countrys GDP
growth plans of 89% per
year.

Domestic Capacity and Utilisation
2.2.3.3 There is significant capacity in Indias T&D
equipment segment, which is operating broadly
at 70% capacity utilization. The domestic T&D segment is
geared to cater to the expected
growth in the demand for T&D equipment.
