## A N S W E R

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF POWER (SHRI SHRIPAD NAIK)

- (a)  to  (d):  There  is  adequate  availability  of  power  in  the  country.  Present  installed generation  capacity    of    the  country    is  513.730  GW.    Government  of  India  has addressed  the  critical  issue  of  power  deficiency  by  adding  289.607  GW  of  fresh generation capacity since April, 2014 transforming the country from power deficit to power sufficient.

Country has successfully met the all-time maximum demand of 250 GW last year. The details of all India Power Supply Position in the country in terms of Energy and Peak during the last three financial years and current financial year 2025-26 (up to December, 2025) are given at Annexure-I. The gap between 'Energy Supplied' and 'Energy Requirement' has declined from 0.5% during FY 2022-23 to 'NIL' during the current year. Similarly, the Peak Demand not met has declined from 4.0% during 202223 to almost 'NIL' during the current year.

The State-wise / UT details of Power Supply Position for last three financial years and the current financial year i.e. 2025-26 (up to December, 2025) including the States  of  Uttar  Pradesh  (UP),  Telangana  &  Odisha  is  given  at  Annexure-II.  These details  indicate  that  'Energy  Supplied'  has  been  commensurate  to  the  'Energy Requirement' with only a marginal gap which is generally on account of constraints in the State transmission / Distribution network. Hence there is no impact of shortage on the economy and industrial growth.

2. Electricity being a concurrent subject, the supply and distribution of electricity is responsibility of the respective State Government / Distribution Utility. Hence, it is the responsibility of the respective distribution utility to take necessary actions to provide 24x7 reliable and quality power to the consumers. The Central Government supplements  the  efforts  of  the  State  Governments  by  establishing  power  plants through Central Public Sector Undertakings (CPSUs) and making power available to the various States / UTs.

The following steps have been taken to ensure uninterrupted power supply in the country during high demand period: -

- (i) Hydro based generation is being scheduled in a manner so as to conserve water for meeting demand during peak period.
- (ii) Planned  maintenance  of  generating  units  is  minimized  during  period  of  high demand.
- (iii) Steady supply of coal to all the thermal power plants is ensured to prevent fuel shortages.
- (iv) Gas-based power plants of NTPC as well as other generators are scheduled during high power demand period.
- (v) All the GENCOs including IPPs and Central generating stations have been advised to generate and maintain full availability on daily basis excluding the period of planned maintenance or forced outage.
- (vi) A robust national grid has been established to facilitate the transfer of power from power surplus regions to power deficit regions. The capacity of National Grid is being  expanded  on  a  continuous  basis  commensurate  with  the  growth  in electricity generation and electricity demand.
- (vii) Proactive  monitoring  of  generation  projects  under  construction  to  facilitate commensurate capacity addition.
- (viii) The  Electricity  market  has  been  reformed  by  adding  the  Real  Time  Market (RTM), Green Day Ahead Market (GDAM), Green Term Ahead Market (GTAM), High Price Day Ahead Market (HP-DAM) in Power Exchanges. Also, DEEP Portal (Discovery  of  Efficient  Electricity  Price)  for  e-Bidding  and  e-Reverse  for procurement of short-term power by DISCOMs was introduced.
3.       The Government have taken the following steps to strengthen the stability of the national grid and ensure adequate reserve capacity:
- I. Generation & Storage Planning:
- (i) As per National Electricity Plan (NEP), installed generation capacity in 2031-32 is likely to be 874 GW. With a view to ensure generation capacity remains ahead of projected peak demand, all the States, in consultation with CEA, have prepared their 'Resource Adequacy Plans (RAPs)', which are dynamic 10-year rolling plans and includes power generation as well as power procurement planning.
- (ii) All  the  States  were  advised  to  initiate  process  for  creating/  contracting generation  capacities;  from  all  generation  sources,  as  per  their  Resource Adequacy Plans.
- (iii) In order to augment the power generation capacity, the Government of India has initiated following capacity addition programme:
- (A) The projected thermal (coal and lignite) capacity requirement by the year 2034-35 is estimated at approximately 3,07,000 MW as against the 2,11,855 MW installed  capacity  as  on  31.03.2023.  To  meet  this  requirement,  Ministry  of Power  has  envisaged  to  set  up  an  additional  minimum  97,000  MW  coal  and lignite based thermal capacity.

To meet  this requirement, several initiatives have already been undertaken.  Thermal  capacities  of  around  17,360  MW  have  already  been commissioned  since  April  2023  till  20.01.2026.  In  addition,  39,545  MW  of thermal capacity (including 4,845 MW of stressed thermal power projects) is currently under construction. The contracts of 22,920 MW have been awarded and  is  due  for  construction.  Further,  24,020  MW  of  coal  and  lignite-based candidate capacity has been identified which is at various stages of planning in the country.

- (B) 12,973.5 MW  of Hydro Electric Projects are under construction. Further, 4,274 MW of Hydro Electric Projects are under various stage of planning and targeted to be completed by 2031-32.
- (C) 6,600 MW of Nuclear Capacity is under construction and targeted to be completed by 2029-30.  7,000 MW of Nuclear Capacity is under various stages of planning and approval.
- (D)  1,57,800 MW Renewable Capacity including 67,280 MW of Solar, 6,500 MW of Wind and 60,040 MW Hybrid power is under construction while 48,720 MW of Renewable Capacity including 35,440 MW of Solar and 11,480 MW Hybrid Power is at various stages of planning and targeted to be completed by 2029-30.

(E)    In  energy  storage  systems,  11,620  MW/69,720  MWh  Pumped  Storage Projects (PSPs) are under construction. Further, a total of 6,580 MW/39,480 MWh capacity of Pumped Storage Projects (PSPs) are concurred and yet to be taken up  for  construction.  Currently,  9,653.94  MW/  26,729.32  MWh  Battery  Energy Storage  System  (BESS)  capacity  are  under  construction  and  19,797.65  MW/ 61,013.40 MWh BESS capacity are under tendering stage

Inter and Intra-State Transmission System has been planned and implementation of the same is taken up in matching time frame of generation capacity addition. As per the National Electricity Plan, about 1,91,474 ckm of transmission lines and 1,274 GVA of transformation capacity is planned to be added (at 220 kV and above voltage level) during the ten-year period from 2022-23 to 2031-32.

## III. Promotion of Renewable Energy Generation:

- (i) 100% Inter State Transmission System (ISTS) charges have been waived for inter-state sale of solar and wind power for projects to be commissioned by 30th June 2025 (with waiver tapering off 25% annually till June 2028), for colocated BESS projects commissioned by June 2028, for Hydro PSP projects where construction work awarded by June 2028, for Green Hydrogen Projects commissioned till December 2030 and for offshore wind projects commissioned till December 2032.
- (ii) Standard Bidding Guidelines for tariff based competitive bidding process for procurement of Power from Grid Connected Solar, Wind, Wind-Solar Hybrid and Firm & Dispatchable RE (FDRE) projects have been issued.
- (iii) Renewable Energy Implementing Agencies (REIAs) are regularly inviting bids for procurement of RE power.
- (iv) Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been permitted up to 100 percent under the automatic route.
- (v) To  augment  transmission  infrastructure  needed  for  steep  RE  trajectory, transmission plan has been prepared till 2032.
- (vi) Laying  of  new  intrastate  transmission  lines  and  creating  new  sub-station capacity has been supported under the Green Energy Corridor Scheme for evacuation of renewable power.
- (vii) Scheme for setting up of Solar Parks and Ultra Mega Solar Power projects is being implemented to provide land and transmission to RE developers for installation of RE projects at large scale
- (viii) Schemes  such  as  Pradhan  Mantri  Kisan  Urja  Suraksha  evam  Utthaan Mahabhiyan  (PM-KUSUM),  PM  Surya  Ghar  Muft  Bijli Yojana, National Programme on High Efficiency Solar PV Modules, New Solar Power Scheme (for  Tribal  and  PVTG  Habitations/Villages)  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Janjati Adivasi Nyaya Maha Abhiyan (PM JANMAN) and Dharti Aabha Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DA JGUA), National Green Hydrogen Mission, Viability Gap Funding (VGF) Scheme for Offshore Wind Energy Projects have been launched
- (ix) To  encourage  RE  consumption,  Renewable  Purchase  Obligation  (RPO) followed by Renewable Consumption Obligation (RCO) trajectory has been notified till  2029-30.  The  RCO  which  is  applicable  to  all  designated consumers under the Energy Conservation Act, 2001 will attract penalties on non-compliance.
- (x) 'Strategy  for  Establishment  of  Offshore  Wind  Energy  Projects'  has  been issued.
- (xi) Green Term Ahead Market (GTAM) has been launched to facilitate sale of Renewable Energy Power through exchanges.
- (xii) Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme has been launched to achieve the objective of localization of supply chain for solar PV Modules.
- (e) : To strengthen the stability of the national grid and ensure adequate reserve capacity, Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) has notified the Ancillary Services Regulations, 2022. While maintenance of adequate reserves at the State level within each control area, as stipulated in the Grid Code, remains essential for grid security, the Regulations provide a structured framework for procurement, deployment, and settlement of ancillary services at the regional and national level. These mechanisms, through both administered and market-based approaches, enable effective  frequency  control,  help  maintain  grid  frequency  close  to  50  Hz,  facilitate restoration of frequency within permissible limits, and address transmission congestion, thereby ensuring safe, secure, and reliable operation of the national power system.

As on 31 st  March 2025, a total of 76 power plants with an installed capacity of 73.3 GW have been successfully wired under Automatic Grid Control (AGC) and are regularly  operating  round  the  clock  under  Secondary  Reserve  Ancillary  Service (SRAS), whenever available.

Reserves under Tertiary Reserve Ancillary Service (TRAS) are procured through power  exchanges  in  Day-Ahead  Ancillary  Market  and  Real-Time  Ancillary  market. TRAS provisions have also been included in the Indian Electricity Grid Code (IEGC), 2023 implemented from 1st October 2023.

- (f) : As  per  Indian  Electricity  Grid  Code  (IEGC)  Clause  31.2(a),  each  State  Load Dispatch  Centre  (SLDC)  is  mandated  to  carry  out  demand  estimation  as  part  of operational planning, after duly factoring in the demand estimation undertaken by the State  Transmission  Utility  (STU)  under  resource  adequacy  planning.  Accordingly, demand  forecasting  is  carried  out  across  multiple  time  horizons,  daily,  weekly, monthly, and yearly, to support secure and reliable grid operation.

A structured mechanism has been established for regular data exchange and coordination among SLDCs, RLDCs, and NLDC. RLDCs regularly intimate States within their respective control areas regarding the likely load -generation balance in the dayahead as well as real-time timeframes.

- (g): Government  of  India  has  implemented  Deen  Dayal  Upadhyaya  Gram  Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) for rural electrification and to strengthen the sub-transmission and distribution networks in rural areas in the country. As reported by the States, all the inhabited un-electrified census villages in the country were electrified by 28th April 2018. A total of 18,374 villages in the country were electrified under the scheme of DDUGJY out of which 2,583 villages were electrified in Jharkhand including Chatra Parliamentary Constituency.

Govt.  of  India  launched  the  Pradhan  Mantri  Sahaj  Bijli  Har  Ghar  Yojana (SAUBHAGYA)  in October, 2017 with the objective of providing electricity connections to all willing un-electrified households in rural areas and all willing poor households in urban areas in the country. As reported by the States, around 2.86 Cr. households  in  the  country  were  electrified  during  the  SAUBHAGYA  period  out  of which 17,30,708 households  were electrified in Jharkhand  including Chatra Parliamentary Constituency.

Further, Government of India in line with its commitment, is further supporting States under the ongoing Scheme of Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) for  electrification  of  any  left-out  households.  Till  date,  works  amounting  to  Rs. 6521.85 Cr. have been sanctioned for electrification of 13,65,139 households in the country including Rs.206.12 Cr. for 40,454 households in Jharkhand. (h) : The ongoing RDSS scheme aims at bringing down the AT&C losses to pan-India level of 12-15% and ACS-ARR gap to zero. Under the Scheme, projects worth Rs. 2.84 lakh  crore  have  been  sanctioned.  These  involve  distribution  infrastructure  works worth Rs. 1.53 lakh crore which include replacement of old/frayed conductors, laying Low  Tension  Aerial  Bunched  (LT  AB)  cables,  and  upgradation/augmentation  of Distribution Transformers (DT) / Sub-stations, agriculture feeder segregation etc. The fund  release  under  the  scheme  has  been  linked  to  performance  of  distribution utilities against various financial parameters, the prominent among them being AT&C losses and ACS-ARR Gap. Further, Smart metering at consumer, DT and feeder level is one of the critical interventions  envisaged  under  RDSS,  allowing  the  DISCOMs  for  measurement  of energy  flows  at  all  level  as  well  as  energy  accounting  without  any  human interference. Proper and accurate energy accounting is the key to identification of high  loss  areas  and  theft  prone  areas,  whereby,  utilities'  billing  and  collection efficiencies improves significantly, thereby reducing the AT&C losses of DISCOMs. With the collective effort of Centre and States / UTs, at the national level, the AT&C loss of the distribution utilities has reduced from 21.91% in FY2021 to 15.04% in FY2025.
