## ELECTRICITY GENERATED FROM FOSSIL FUELS AND OTHER SOURCES

3092.  SHRI JAGDAMBIKA PAL: SHRI TATKARE SUNIL DATTATREY:

Will the Minister of POWER be pleased to state:

- (a) the present energy mix of the country in terms of installed power capacity, with a detailed breakup of electricity generated from fossil fuels, renewable energy sources and other non-fossil fuel-based sources in the country including Maharashtra;
- (b) the major power projects, across all sectors that are currently sanctioned or under implementation and the manner in which the national energy mix is projected to evolve during the next five years;
- (c)  the  steps  taken  by  the  Government  to  expand  hydropower  and  nuclear  power generation and the role envisaged for these sectors in strengthening grid stability and ensuring long-term energy security; and
- (d) whether the Government is examining the feasibility of developing new hydropower assets  in  coordination  with  river-linking  initiatives  proposed  under  the  National Perspective Plan and if so, the details thereof?

## A N S W E R

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF POWER

(SHRI SHRIPAD NAIK)

- (a) : The current total installed power generation capacity in the country is 5,05,023 MW comprising  of  2,45,600  MW  (48.63%)  from  fossil  fuel  sources  and  2,59,423  MW (51.37%)  from  non-fossil  fuel  sources. The  details  of  the  source-wise  installed generation capacity and electricity generated during FY 2024-25 and FY 2025-26 (upto October, 2025) in the country and Maharashtra state indicating their energy mix are given at         Annexure-I.
- (b): List  of  under  construction  Thermal  power  projects,  Hydro  Power  projects including  Pump  Storage  Projects  (PSP)  and  Nuclear  power  projects  are  given  at Annexure-II, Annexure-III and Annexure-IV respectively. Further, 1,56,900 MW Renewable Capacity including 69,180 MW of Solar, 29,650 MW of Wind and 57,630 MW Hybrid (Wind-Solar) is under construction.

The thrust of the Government is on capacity addition from non-fossil sources. As per the National Electricity Plan (Generation) brought out by CEA in May, 2023, the share of non-fossil fuel based installed capacity is likely to increase to about 68% by the end of 2031-32 from the present level of 51.37 % (as on October, 2025).

……..2.

(c) : In order to strengthen the grid stability and to ensure long term energy security in  the  country, the Government of India has accorded priority to the development of Hydro power and Nuclear power generation.

In this regard, following measures have been taken to promote the development of Hydro Power projects including PSPs in the country:

- (i) Declaring Large Hydro Power (LHPs) (> 25 MW projects) as Renewable Energy source.
- (ii) Hydro  Purchase  Obligation  (HPO)  as  a separate  entity within  Non-solar Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO).
- (iii) Tariff rationalization measures for bringing down hydro power tariff.
- (iv) Budgetary Support for Flood Moderation/Storage Hydro Electric Projects (HEPs).
- (v) Budgetary Support towards Cost of Enabling Infrastructure, i.e. roads/bridges, etc.
- (vi) Ministry  of  Power  (MoP)  has  notified  Guidelines  to  promote  development  of Pumped Storage Projects in the country on 10th April, 2023.
- (vii) Waiver of ISTS Charges on the transmission of power from new Hydro Power Projects, for which construction work is awarded and PPA is signed on or before 30.06.2025.Subsequently,  part  waiver  of  ISTS  charges,  in  steps  of  25%  from 01.07.2025 to 01.07.2028,have been extended for HEPs for which construction work is awarded and PPA is signed upto 30.06.2028.
- (viii) MoP  has  extended  the  100%  waiver  of  ISTS  charges  for  PSPs  for  which construction work is awarded on or before 30.06.2028.
- (ix) MoP  has  approved  the  Central  Financial  Assistance  (CFA)  to  the  State Governments of NER towards their equity participation for development of Hydro Electric Projects in the North Eastern Region (NER) through Joint Venture (JV) Collaboration between State entities and Central Public Sector Undertakings.
- (x) MoP has increased the limit for concurrence requirement for hydro generating stations by CEA from ₹1,000 crore to ₹3,000 crore, and has exempted off-stream closed loop PSPs from the requirement of concurrence from the Authority.

The Government of India has set an ambitious target of 100 GW nuclear power capacity  by  2047.  Following  steps  have  been  taken  to  promote  the  development  of nuclear generation in the country:

- (i) A dedicated Nuclear Energy Mission with an allocation of ₹20,000 crore has been launched to develop at least five indigenously designed Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) by 2033 and promote advanced nuclear technologies.
- (ii) Sustainable  Harnessing  and  Advancement of Nuclear  energy for Transforming India (SHANTI) Bill, 2025 has been introduced in Parliament to pave a way to harness the full potential of India's nuclear energy based on indigenous resources to the maximum extent through active involvement of both the public and private sectors.

- (iii) Bharat  Small  Reactors  (BSRs)  of  220  MW  capacity  based  on  India's  proven Pressurized  Heavy  Water  Reactor  (PHWR)  technology  are  being  upgraded  for deployment  in industrial hubs  to support decarbonisation. BARC  is  also developing Small Modular Reactors for repurposing retiring coal stations and for remote-area applications.
- (iv) India's  fuel  security  is  being  enhanced  through  new  uranium  discoveries, including a significant discovery that would extend the life of the Jaduguda mine by over 50 years. Progress in the closed fuel cycle, such as milestones achieved in  the  Prototype  Fast  Breeder  Reactor,  will  further  support  sustainable  fuel supply.
- (v) To accelerate capacity addition, NPCIL and NTPC have formed the joint venture ASHVINI for developing nuclear power plants within the existing legal framework

(d) : For Interlinking of Rivers (ILR) projects as identified under National Perspective Plan,  one  of  the  benefit  components  is  hydropower  generation  in  addition  to  main benefits of irrigation and augmentation of domestic and industrial water.

These  benefits  are  firmed  up/finalized  at  the  stage  of  preparation  of  Detailed Project Report for ILR Projects.
