Analysis on Indian Power Supply Situation and Policies
IEEJ：July 2018 © IEEJ2018 Analysis on Indian Power Supply Situation and Policies National Expansion of Successful Electric Power Reform “Gujarat State Model” Jun Makita* Summary India features robust demand for the development of infrastructure including electric power and is expected to drive the world economy as a manufacturing base and a giant market. However, about 240 million people, close to one-fifth of the Indian population, live without electric power. Blackouts are frequent, indicating an unstable electric power supply environment. Narendra Modi, who was elected India’s 18th prime minister in May 2014, has vowed to supply electric power 24 hours a day, seven days a week, indicating his determination to promote domestic electric power development. Cited as the largest factor behind his election as prime minister are an electric power reform and other successful policies in Gujarat state when he served as the state’s chief minister from 2001 to 2014. Particularly, the electric power reform is called the Gujarat state model, gaining high ratings. In response to people’s strong wish to see the expansion of the reform’s fruits throughout India, Prime Minister Modi is now tackling the national expansion of the reform. Stable power supply is such an important policy challenge supporting national development. In this paper, Chapter 1 reviews India’s present situation and future outlook regarding economy, energy, electric power supply and demand, and an existing supply-demand gap. Chapter 2 summarizes India’s present electric power business arrangements, power supply conditions and numerous challenges facing India. Chapter 3 analyzes the Gujarat state model cited in the subtitle, delving into the electric power reform that Modi as chief minister of Gujarat state promoted to eliminate blackouts and into the reform’s fruits such as electric power quality improvements.

Gujarat's Electricity Sector Transformation
Tim Buckley, Director for Energy Finance Studies, Australasia 1 Kashish Shah, Research Analyst August 2019 Gujarat’s Electricity Sector Transformation A Role Model of India’s Electricity Transition Executive Summary GUJARAT, LOCATED ON THE WESTERN COAST OF INDIA, IS AN ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE that contributed roughly 8% of India’s total gross domestic product (GDP) between 2011/12 and 2018/19. It is one of the most industrially focussed states in India, with three quarters of Gujarat’s state GDP coming from the industrial sector. IEEFA also identifies Gujarat as one of the five leading Indian states for renewable energy in terms of both existing generation capacity as well as future potential. There was 2 gigawatt (GW) of solar power capacity, 6GW of wind power capacity and 0.5GW of biomass capacity operational as of March 2019. India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) estimates Gujarat’s renewables potential to be 72.7GW, equally balanced between solar and wind energy potential. This includes the 5GW Dholera Solar Park, the largest proposed solar development in the world to-date. August 2019 saw NTPC announce plans for another 5GW of solar park at Kutch in Gujarat during its annual investor meet for FY2018/19. This announcement puts Gujarat ahead in the race for building renewables capacity between states such as Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan with similar renewable energy potential. GUJARAT’S CURRENT ELECTRICITY MIX IS DOMINATED BY THERMAL POWER SOURCES. The 22.3GW of thermal capacity comprises 15.8GW of coal-fired and 6.6GW of gas-fired capacity.
