India's power sector presents a robust investment opportunity, projected to attract approximately $500 billion over the next seven years, extending to 2032. This substantial potential was highlighted by Union Power Minister Manohar Lal and Union Power Secretary Pankaj Agarwal at the curtain-raiser event for the Bharat Electricity Summit 2026. The investment is expected to be channelled across various segments, including electricity generation, transmission, distribution, and energy storage, reinforcing India's commitment to energy security and sustainability. The nation has made significant strides in increasing its power generation capacity, more than doubling it from 249 GW in March 2014 to over 510 GW by November 2025. Recent data indicates a rapid pace of capacity addition; in the first half of the Financial Year 2025-26 (April-September), India added 28 GW of non-fossil capacity and 5.1 GW from fossil sources, totalling 33.1 GW over six months, which averages to about 5.5 GW per month. This figure demonstrates that the headline's claim of 4-5 GW monthly addition is accurate and potentially even conservative for certain recent periods. India's installed electricity capacity crossed the 500 GW mark by September 30, 2025, with over 51% derived from non-fossil fuel sources, fulfilling a key COP26 commitment five years ahead of the 2030 target. This transition underscores India's shift from a power-deficit to a power-surplus regime, focusing on strengthening grid resilience and integrating clean energy. The upcoming Bharat Electricity Summit 2026, scheduled from March 19-22 in New Delhi, aims to further global collaboration and showcase India's leadership in the energy transition.
