Review on power generation scenario of India

India is a major future consumer of electric power due to the rapid economic growth and large population. In this article, the present state and perspectives of using various energy sources in India for electric power generation are depicted as well as the main tools for promoting their development and utilization are highlighted. Wide spread use of coal and other fossil fuels have led to accumulation of the enormous amount of carbon dioxide and a resultant global warming in the earth's atmosphere. Use of renewable energy sources is one of the crucial components of the sustainable development. The scope of renewable energy sources for increasing the power generation capacity to meet the demand of Indian needs are described broadly.
