India's Power Demand Peaks at 242.49 GW in FY26

India recently met its highest ever power demand of 242.49 GW during the financial year 2025-26.

The country has made big improvements in its power supply, with very few shortages now compared to a few years ago.

The amount of electricity each person uses has also gone up a lot.

India has added a lot of new power plants, including many that use clean energy like solar and wind power.

They are also building more traditional coal power plants and planning big projects to store extra energy for later use.

This shows that India is working hard to make sure everyone has enough electricity, both now and in the future.
