#1 India suffered a massive shortfall of 20,000 megawatts in power-capacity addition in the 10th five-year plan that ended in April.

There is a 25% power shortage in Maharashtra state, 20% in Uttar Pradesh state and 10-15% in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Delhi states.

Average power theft or transmission and distribution loss is more than 20%.

Capacity addition of 70,000 mw during the 11th Plan requires an investment of $50 billion.

Currently

54% of power is from coal
34% from oil/gas
3% from nuclear
6% from hydroelectric
1% from wind + bio mass

Proven uranium reserves will support 10,000 megawatts of installed capacity.
India wants to add 20,000mw of nuclear power to the 3,300mw generated by state-run nuclear power plants.
