Rural Electrification - Key Element for Rural Economic Development and Meeting India’s Demand-Supply Gap
Rural Electrification - Key Element for Rural Economic Development and Meeting India’s Demand-Supply Gap
Summary
Rural electrification is a very important aspect for India’s economic development. Some 70% of the country’s population lives in rural areas. Only 52.5% of India’s rural areas are electrified. The country’s growing population will drive huge demand for power, and the country’s current power generation is not able to meet demand. Supportive government policies, advanced power infrastructure, and decentralized renewable systems will facilitate rural electrification. Rural electrification encourages the market entry of power generation companies, which will ultimately boost rural economic development and help to bridge India’s demand-supply gap.
