India’s installed power generation capacity is projected to reach how much by 2031- 32?

Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option C: 874 GW. India’s installed power generation capacity is projected to reach 874 GW by 2031-32 as part of long-term electricity sector expansion planning. India’s total installed power capacity stood at 548,858 MW (548.86 GW) as of 30 June 2026, with 54.18% from non-fossil fuel sources. India achieved more than 50% non-fossil fuel installed capacity before the 2030 Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) deadline under the Paris Agreement. India plans to add at least 80 GW of coal-based thermal power capacity by 2031-32 to maintain firm baseload electricity supply. Energy storage expansion includes 15,870 MW of pumped storage projects and 15,754 MW of battery energy storage systems under construction as of 3 August 2026. India plans to add about 191,474 circuit kilometres of transmission lines and 1,274 GVA of transformation capacity between 2022-23 and 2031-32. Aggregate Technical and Commercial (AT&C) losses declined from 21.91% in FY21 to 15.04% in FY25, indicating improvement in power distribution efficiency. Pumped storage projects and battery energy storage systems help integrate variable renewable energy by providing grid balancing support.
