- India’s inter-regional transmission capacity is planned to reach 143 gigawatts (GW) by 2027 to strengthen the national power grid.
- The capacity was about 120 GW in 2025 and will be expanded to 143 GW (2027) and 168 GW (2032) to ensure smooth electricity flow across regions.
- The expansion is part of the National Electricity Plan (NEP) to improve reliability and integrate renewable energy sources.
- India’s peak electricity demand is projected to reach around 388 GW by 2032, requiring a strong transmission network.
- The plan also includes expansion of transmission lines to 6.48 lakh circuit kilometres (ckm) and transformation capacity to 2,345 GVA (Giga Volt Ampere), improving overall grid capacity and efficiency.
