Growing demand drives growth in power T&D sector
Financial Express Kolkata|December 23, 2024
THE POWER TRANSMISSION and distribution (T&D) sector is set for a significant growth, driven by increasing electricity demand and focused renewable energy goals.
MAHESH PATIL

India aims to achieve 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, almost 3x from 180 GW currently installed, marking the largest push for capital investment in power infrastructure.

The NEP outlines an investment of ₹9.15 lakh crore to address the growing demand.
