In 2018, India ranked fourth in wind power and fifth in renewable power installed capacity. India made significant investments in clean energy which is estimated at USD 90 billion and is only country among the G20 nations that is on track to achieve the targets under the Paris Agreement.

India power EPC market has attracted significant foreign direct investments (FDI) in the past two decades which is anticipated to be more than USD 15 billion accounting for 3% of total FDI inflow. There is a considerable interest from government of India in the power sector which has led to more focused approach in promoting sustained industrial growth in the recent years.

Electricity production was estimated at 1,252.72 billion units (BU) in FY20c and total installed capacity of power stations in India was recorded at 380 GW as of January 2021.

According to Central Electricity Authority (CEA) the share of renewable energy generation would increase from 18% to 44% by 2029-30 and thermal is expected to see reduction from 78% to 52%. The government of India plans to establish renewable capacity if 500 GW by 2030 and has allocated USD 1.4 trillion under the National Infrastructure Pipeline for FY 2019-25. India’s power consumption showed a considerable increase to 50.15 billion units (BU) in the year 2020, direct result of growing economic activity.

India Power EPC Market Segment Insights

Thermal segment is projected to account for a major market share

Based on power generation, the India EPC power market is segmented into thermal, hydro, nuclear, solar, wind, and other renewables. The thermal segment is expected to account for a key share of the market during the forecast period. According to National Investment Promotion & Facilitation Agency India has a total thermal capacity of 234 Gigawatts (GW) as of April 2021, energy is generated from fossil fuels combustion, such as coal, natural gas, and oil.

53% of the thermal power is obtained from coal and the rest for other sources such as gas and oil. Sustained economic growth, rapid infrastructural advancements, and increasing government initiatives is expected to drive the segment growth in the coming years.

On the other hand, solar and wind segments is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period due to the rapid wide-scale transmission towards clean energy in the recent years. India has set targets to increase solar energy which is estimated to contribute 114 GW and 67 GW for wind energy subsequently by 2022, the plans for establishing clean power grid infrastructure in the country is anticipated to spur the market expansion at a steady CAGR during the forecast period.
