India’s inter-regional transmission capacity likely to reach 143 GW by 2027: Naik

10 Mar 2026 Evaluate

The Minister of State for Power Shripad Naik has said that India’s inter-regional transmission capacity is projected to reach 143 gigawatt (GW) by 2027 and further increase to 168 GW by 2032 to ensure reliable electricity flow nationwide. As of January 2026, the country’s the inter-regional transmission capacity stood at 120 GW and there is currently no transmission constraint existing at the national level in India. 

The minister said the capacity of the National Grid is expanded on a continuous basis, commensurate with the growth in electricity generation and electricity demand. By 2032, the country's peak electricity demand is projected to reach 388 GW. Under National Electricity Plan (NEP) (Volume-II Transmission), the transmission network (220kV and above) is projected to expand to 6.48 lakh circuit kilometer (ckm) with transformation capacity increasing to 2,345 Giga Volt Ampere (GVA) by 2031-32. 

He further said that there are delays in several inter-state transmission system (ISTS) projects due to right-of-way (RoW) issues. He noted that electricity is a concurrent subject, and the planning, development and operation of the intra-state power grid and transmission infrastructure is primarily the responsibility of state governments. Delays due to Right of Way (RoW) issues have affected the project timeline of as many as 25 ISTS projects.
