Project Installed Capacity as of 2021-2022
The projected installed capacity by the end of 2021-22 as per midterm NEP review is 4,76,431 MW (44,989 MW Hydro, 5246 MW PSP; 2,15,773 MW
Coal; 25,343 MW Gas; 10,080 MW Nuclear, 5,000 MW small Hydro, 10000 MW Biomass, 100,000 MW solar and 60,000 MW wind) and has been considered as the base capacity (Table 1). Additionally, hydro imports totaling to 2136 MW have been considered till 2021-22. The base year of the study has been considered as 2021-22.
