The Gujarat government has announced a target to meet 250 billion units of electricity demand by the fiscal year 2035-36, outlining a comprehensive plan to expand generation capacity and upgrade infrastructure.
The state has set a target of 250 billion units (BU) of electricity demand for the fiscal year 2035-36, a move aimed at ensuring energy security for its growing industrial base. The plan, unveiled by the Gujarat Energy Department, calls for a mix of coal, natural gas and renewable projects to meet the projected demand. It also includes upgrading transmission lines and modernising grid infrastructure to reduce losses. The government expects the new capacity to support the state’s ambitious industrial expansion and to keep power tariffs stable for consumers.
