Power sector plays an important role in overall development of an economy as well individuals. Over the past few decades, there has been concerted efforts by the policymakers and the governments to improve the power consumption in India. In the period from 2011-2021, there has been continuous decline in power deficit in the country, led by improvement in energy intensity, reduction in transmission and distribution losses and growth in contribution from renewable sources. In this paper, I have shown the trends in power requirements and availability in India and how these two things are growing over the last decade. I have also shown the trends in power deficit and tried to analyse the factors that have led to near convergence in demand-supply of power in India.
