The grid, state by state.
Installed capacity, demand met, and DISCOM losses — where India's electricity comes from, where it goes, and where it leaks out.
Key Takeaways
- India's installed capacity is 532.7 GW; renewables (excluding large hydro) are 42% of that.
- Per-capita electricity consumption hit 1395 kWh in FY 2023-24 — up roughly 46% in a decade — but still less than half the global average.
- Gujarat has the largest state-allocated capacity at 70,945 MW; Rajasthan leads on RES capacity with 46,608 MW.
- Peak demand met hit 245 GW with a 0.0% shortfall — but DISCOM AT&C losses are still 15.04%, well above the 12.5% RDSS target.
