As electricity production, electricity consumption in India has grown steadily over the past decades. The industrial sector accounted for the largest share of the total power consumption in the country, followed by the domestic and agricultural sectors.
Despite the global urgency to shift to green energy sources, India’s power sector mainly relies on fossil fuels. In 2022, coal electricity generation increased by over 90 terawatt-hours compared to 2021, while the combined growth in renewable power production was approximately 40 terawatt-hours. That same year, the country’s investments in renewable energy amounted to 11.5 billion U.S. dollars.
