The hydroelectricity generation in India experienced notable fluctuations over the past decade. In 2023, the generation stood at 174.4 TWh, following a significant growth of 9.1% in 2022. However, there was a slight decline of 0.3% in 2023. The last five years saw an average annual growth rate of 4.53%. Future projections indicate a steady increase, although the expected annual growth rate over the next five years is more moderate at 0.97%.
Future trends to watch for include potential influences of climate change on water availability, technological advancements in hydroelectric infrastructure, and policy initiatives focused on renewable energy. These factors could significantly impact the trajectory of hydroelectricity generation in India.
