Major Highlights

1. In the 12th Plan, likely capacity addition from

conventional sources as per review carried out as on
31.3.2016, will be 101,645 MW (Coal- 86,250 MW,
Lignite 1,290 MW, Gas 6,080 MW, Hydro 5,525
MW, Nuclear 2,500 MW) against a target of 88,537
MW. This is about 115% of the target.
2. 56 % of total capacity addition during 12th plan is
expected to come from private sector.
3. There is likely to be considerable slippage in capacity
addition target in respect of Hydro (5,601 MW) and
Nuclear (2,800 MW) in the 12th Plan period.
4. During 12th plan, capacity addition from supercritical
technology based coal power plants is likely to
contribute around 39% of the total capacity addition
from coal based plants.
5. R&M/LE works in respect of 29 Nos. thermal units
with aggregate capacity of 4,192 MW have been
completed during 12th Plan upto 31.03.2016. During
12th Plan, a total of 22 hydro R&M schemes having
an installed capacity of about 3042 MW is expected
to accrue benefit of about 567 MW through uprating,
life extension and restoration.
6. As on 31.03.2016, India has achieved a total installed
capacity of 42,849 MW from Renewable Energy
Sources.
7. The country has revised its Renewable Energy
capacity target to 175 GW by the year 2021-2022.
8. A capacity addition of 17,930 MW from Renewable
Energy Sources has been achieved during the first
four years of 12th Plan.

Incremental energy savings due to implementation of

various energy saving measures, during the year
2016-17, 2021-22 and 2026-27 are estimated to be
26 BU, 137 BU and 204 BU respectively over the year
2015-16.
