Telangana’s power sector is on course to adding over 10,000 MW of power generation capacity over the next three years, thereby becoming a State with surplus power.
Post bifurcation in 2014, Telangana started off with an installed capacity of 7,778 MW. Within six years, the overall power generation capacity has shot up to 15,980 MW. It is now in the process of further expanding the installed capacity.
As per the AP Reorganisation Act, a 4,000-MW thermal power capacity has to be installed by the NTPC. Phase one work on 1,600-MW is now underway. The project foundation was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
