The document discusses India's integrated energy policy and progress towards electricity sector reforms. It notes that India needs to increase primary energy supply 3-4 times and electricity supply 5 times by 2031-32 to sustain high economic growth. Key objectives are energy security, reliability, affordability and meeting needs in a sustainable manner. National programs like RGGVY have expanded rural electrification but losses and deficits remain high in many states. Continued reforms, infrastructure investments and adoption of new technologies are needed across generation, transmission and distribution.
3. • The Expert Committee submitted the report in August’06.
• India needs to sustain 8-10% growth rate over the next 25
years for eradicating poverty and meeting its human
development goals.
• This would require, at least, enhancing primary energy
supply by 3-4 times and the electricity supply by 5 times ,of
2003-04 level.
Integrated Energy Policy
4. • Power generation capacity would need be in the order of
8,00,000 MW in year 2031-32 from the current installed
capacity of about 1,39,000 MW.
• Main objectives have to be energy security, reliability,
competitive prices and meeting lifeline energy needs in a
technically efficient, economically viable and
environmentally sustainable manner.

Vision 2012 ( G O I )
“ Power for All by 2012 ”
13. • Major national effort to universalize access to electricity
– 57% of rural households were without access in 2001.
• Launched in 2005. Targets :
• 1,00,000 un-electrified villages.
• 78 million rural households in un-electrified and
electrified villages.

electrification of Below-Poverty-Line (BPL) rural
households.
