Not particularly the point of the thread. but if you do search here, there are many threads posted and started by Chinese about their power grid. with 7 trill GDP as they claim to have, it gotta be a lot more.

The electricity sector in India had an installed capacity of 225133 MW as of May 2013,[1] the world's fifth largest. Captive power plants generate an additional 34444 MW.

While Japan's production has gone down recently and Russia is barely expanding at 1%. India is no more 6th largest but 3rd largest. Only China and USA produce more and our aim should be to over take USA in next 15 years. Over taking China is just impossible, they are launching a coal fired plant in every 3 weeks. This pace is just unparalled in human history.

Another good news is that private sector is now leading the power addition and govt no longer has a monopoly in this field.

I have heard from Indians there are powercuts everyday even in big cities.
Plus 60% of Indians live in rural areas.

i'm 100% sure that in kerala, tamil nadu, andhra, maharashtra and karnataka there is 24/7 power.

Seems like Involvement of Private companies in power sector was the key. Private sector will so become the growth engine of Indian power with better efficiency and planning and faster construction. 80000 Mw is already under cons for the next 5 years.
