India added only 4.53 GW of thermal power capacity in FY25, falling short of the 15.4 GW target. Only six of the planned 22 thermal units were commissioned, with delays due to equipment supply, land acquisition, and infrastructure issues. While total power capacity grew by 33 GW, most additions were renewables, which are variable. To meet the goal of 80 GW thermal capacity by 2032, construction must start by 2026–27 with faster approvals and coordination.Contact: Govt Of India Email:  indiaportal[at]gov[dot]inWebsite: www.india.gov.inTata Power Q4 Profit Rises 16.5 per cent to Rs 10.43 BillionTata Power’s net profit for Q4FY25 rose 16.5 per cent to Rs 10.43 billion, surpassing estimates.
