IEA country data · 2025
India Electricity Generation
Net electricity generation in India totaled 1,977,066 GWh in 2025 (OECD/IEA Monthly Electricity Statistics: Generation (MESGEN) net generation statistics). Rank among mapped countries: #3. Renewable share: 23.4%.
Monthly data is collected from the Central Electricity Authority and the National Power Portal. Raw monthly production data is collected from the Central Electricity Authority in gross values. All the data in the MES Report is presented in net values, therefore Indian net production data is calculated based on IEA Secretariat estimates. Monthly data are adjusted according to data submitted on a fiscal year basis beginning 1st of April and ending 31st of March. Monthly production data only include main electricity producers. The rest of the electricity generation is estimated by the IEA Secretariat based on the annual submissions. Monthly reporting did not include production from other combustible fuels (non-renewables), therefore it is estimated by the IEA Secretariat.
