India Power Market - Growth, Trends, Covid-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2023 - 2028)
The Indian power market is expected to register a CAGR of more than 3% during the forecast period of 2022-2027. Currently, in India, the power market is undergoing a significant transformation phase owing to the efforts taken by the government to improve electricity access in the country, along with its plans to increase the share of renewables in the country's power generation mix. The Indian power market was reasonably unaffected by the COVID-19 pandemic, as electricity has been categorized as an essential service. However, the lockdown measures imposed by the government in the country caused a reduction in immediate electricity demand in commercial and industrial categories in Q1 of 2020. Factors, such as population growth in India which is expected to overtake China as the world's most populous country by 2025, are a strong propeller for the power market. The degree of urbanization in the country will also have significant implications on the trend of energy consumption because of the increase in demand from industries that use energy for construction and manufacturing. However, huge investment is required to set up and modernize power generation, transmission, or distribution networks, and weak private sector investment is holding back the power market in India.
Key HighlightsThe Indian power market is moderately consolidated. Some of key players in this market are NTPC Ltd, NLC India Ltd, SJVN Ltd, JSW Group, and Power Grid Corporation India Ltd.
