‘Power sector in India has major issues with its installed capacity’. Discuss the given statement.

Explanation

The given statement states about the insufficiency of the installed capacity of production of power in India. If the Indian economy wants to touch the GDP growth rate between 7-8 % it must target to produce electricity with a growth rate of 7% which is not possible with the present production capacity in the power sector. Thus, we need to work in two directions to improve installed capacity:
i. increased investments (by both public and private players) in the power generation sector .
ii. better utilization of the present infrastruture .
