Globally, India is the sixth largest economy, the third largest electricity producer, has the second largest population, and the fourth largest installed power capacity (third largest including genset capacity). Finding the right energy mix will require leveraging the country’s existing power plants, removing inadequacies, adding newer technologies, and using flexible power to increase system efficiencies. In these efforts, gas-based power plants have a critical role to play and could be a significant part of the country’s energy mix.

India is a unique country. Creating the right energy mix won’t be easy—but with the right strategy and the right technology; India can chart a unique path to a green economy with sustainable, reliable, clean, and affordable power for all.
