Govt says West Asia crisis to have ‘minimal impact’ on India’s power supply, activating backup
The ongoing tensions in the West Asia are unlikely to significantly affect India’s power supply, power secretary Pankaj Agarwal said on the sidelines of the Bharat Electricity Summit 2026.
Agarwal said India relies very little on gas-based power generation, and therefore, the Middle East crisis is expected to have minimal impact on the country’s electricity supply.
