Indian Power Sector - Electricity

Power supply in India is a critical driver of socio-economic growth, supporting industrial competitiveness, agricultural productivity, and daily life for over 1.4 billion people. India is the world's third-largest producer and consumer of electricity, following China and the United States. Electricity poles are visible in fields, which are vital for transmitting power to rural areas during sunset, and cars and bikes pass by on the road in Purulia, West Bengal, India, on January 13, 2026.
