Prime Minister Narendra Modi has lauded the rapid evolution of India’s power sector, describing it as a robust ecosystem essential for achieving a Viksit Bharat. Sharing an article by Union Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, the Prime Minister highlighted how strategic energy policies are successfully meeting the country’s future needs while creating a sustainable atmosphere. He noted that the shift from chronic power shortages to becoming a global energy leader reflects a decade of disciplined policy implementation and growth.
The Prime Minister’s observations come at a time when India has nearly doubled its electricity generation since 2014, reaching 1,830 billion units in 2025. Significant milestones include reducing energy shortages from 4.2 percent to a near-negligible 0.03 percent and successfully managing a massive national grid under the One Nation, One Grid, One Frequency system. This infrastructure now supports a record installed capacity of over 520 GW, ensuring that even peak demands are met without major disruptions across the country.
Looking toward a sustainable future, the Prime Minister’s endorsed vision emphasizes a strong push for clean energy, including the National Green Hydrogen Mission and an ambitious goal of 100 GW of nuclear power by 2047. Through digital reforms like smart metering and expanded renewable capacity, the government aims to maintain a reliable power supply for emerging needs like data centers. To further this dialogue, stakeholders are invited to the Bharat Electricity Summit 2026 in New Delhi to collaborate on grid modernization and next-generation infrastructure.
