India has emerged as a country with the third-largest growth in power generation capacity globally over the past five years, according to the latest report by the International Energy Agency (IEA).
Only China and the United States surpassed India in power generation growth during this period.
It said "India has seen the third-largest growth in power generation capacity in the world after China and the United States".
The report highlighted that India's electricity demand has been rising sharply due to several factors. These include the expansion of commercial and residential spaces, increased ownership of air conditioners and other household appliances, and growing demand from industries.
