Power Sector in India
Hydro energy contribution to power generation in india .
Power generation sector is always a considering sector in india . India as being a developing country lags behind in the power generation to fulfil the demand supply ratio . But still there is always an increment in power generation year by year . Indian ministry of power have been building new policies to meet the expectation in energy generation by using conventional and nonconventional sources of energy . India is putting emphasis on making best use of non conventional resources of energy and has the fifth largest electricity generation capacity in the world today more than one hundred and sixty four thousand MW today and the worlds third largest transmission and distribution network . It is also standing at third position in power generation through wind energy and looking for new advancement in Thermal , Nuclear ,Hydro and Solar energies .
Our honourable Union minister shri sushil kumar shinde has stated that the scope for investment in the power sector over the next few years is well over US $ 300 billion and given the large expansion programme in this sector, we would definitely need and welcome a large amount of Foreign Direct Investment ( 7th Annual India Investment Forum titled
"India-An Attractive Investment Destination" in New York ) .He also added that drawing on
India 's substantial knowledge base, many foreign high-technology firms are increasingly finding it attractive to conduct advanced research and development in India and added that out of Fortune 500 companies around 200 have set up research and development base in
India.
