India’s electricity demand projected to grow faster than overall energy demand by 2035

The Economic Times reports that S&P Global expects India’s electricity demand to grow faster than overall energy demand between 2025 and 2035. It projects combined electricity use by data centres and green hydrogen production to rise nearly ninefold, reaching around 240 terawatt-hours by 2035. The report says stronger power networks, storage and flexible generation will be needed to meet rising, less predictable demand reliably.
