According to the data released by Central Electricity Authority, India generated 811 billion units of electricity in 2010-11 fiscal marginally lower than the set target. The production was lower than the set target primarily on account of shortage of coal and water. The electricity generation from thermal power sources stood at 664.9 BU compared to the target of 690.9 BU.
India needs enhanced infrastructure and power capacity to sustain high growth trajectory and had targeted an electricity generation of 830.8 billion units (BU) in 2010-11. However India achieved to generate 811 billion units. The figure for 2010-11 represents a growth of over 5% on768.4 BU achieved in 2009-10.
The statistics presented by the Central Electricity Authority exclude generation from plants having capacity of 25 MW capacity.
