Adani Power expands thermal capacity to meet rising Indian electricity demand
What happened
Adani Power is working to meet India’s increasing baseload power requirements, with its CEO stating that the growing appetite for electricity supports thermal power generation. The company is pursuing a program to add 23,720 MW of new thermal power capacity, including projects nearing completion. During Q2 FY27, India’s power demand increased 11.5% year-over-year to 502 BU, while coal- and lignite-based power accounted for 73% of the additional electricity generated.

Why it matters
The expansion highlights the increasing reliance on domestic coal-based generation to secure India’s long-term electricity supply, a trend reinforced by geopolitical and climate uncertainties. This growth is occurring against a backdrop of capacity and deliverability issues within the Indian power sector.
The Indian power sector currently faces issues related to capacity versus deliverability, and Adani Power's growth is linked to record high Indian power demand.
