AVAILABILITY AND QUALITY OF POWER SUPPLY

• India has transitioned from a power-deficit to a power-sufficient nation, with 520.51 GW of installed generation capacity as on Jan 2026.
• Electricity is a Concurrent List subject — generation, transmission and distribution responsibilities are shared between the Union and States.
• Quality issues (voltage fluctuation, interruptions, AT&C losses) are now the binding constraint, more than raw generation deficit.
