India needs 100 GW of thermal power to stabilize its grid as it expands renewables to 500 GW by 2030.
India’s plan to add 100 gigawatts of thermal power is seen as essential for supporting its 500 gigawatt renewable energy target by 2030, according to Vedanta’s power CEO Rajinder Singh Ahuja.
He stressed that thermal power, especially gas-based, is crucial for grid stability during the transition, as solar and wind remain intermittent and currently supply only 12% of electricity despite making up half of installed capacity.
While renewable capacity grows, expanding hydro, nuclear, and energy storage is key to eventually replacing thermal plants.
Government policies are promoting green energy infrastructure, but delays in transmission development and new regulations—like mandatory biomass use and flexible operations—could strain independent power producers.
Ahuja urged financial support to maintain the economic viability of thermal plants during this shift.
