[6] [7] Koyna Hydroelectric Project is the largest completed hydroelectric power plant in India, with a power capacity of 1960 MW. India's hydroelectric power output dropped by 16.3% in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024, the largest decline in 38 years, primarily due to low rainfall. This decrease led to hydroelectricity's share of India's ...
This is a list of states and territories of India by installed power generation capacity. This is measured in Megawatts (MW) which is equal to one million watts of electric power. As of 31st January 2025, the installed capacity is around 466 GW. Gujarat (58 GW) leads in power generation capacity, followed by Maharashtra (50 GW) and Rajasthan ...
This is a list of countries and dependencies by annual electricity production. China is the world's largest electricity producing country, followed by the United States and India. Data are for the year 2023 and are sourced from Ember unless otherwise specified. [1] Links for each location go to the relevant electricity market page, when available.
Wind power accounts for nearly 10% of India's total installed utility power generation capacity and generated 71.814 TWh in the fiscal year 2022–23, which is nearly 4.43% of total electricity generation. [28]
As of 2009, India envisaged to increase the contribution of nuclear power to overall electricity generation capacity from 2.8% to 9% within 25 years. [102] As of 2023, nuclear generated 3.1% of electricity in India, a share which is expected to rise with commissioning of multiple IPHWR-700 and VVER-1000 reactors.
