Electricity is a fundamental necessity for modern life and is increasingly recognized as a basic human right. The Indian power sector is undergoing substantial reforms; however, the demand for electricity continues to exceed its supply. This persistent gap is attributed to challenges in generation, transmission, and distribution, as well as inefficient energy use and inadequate financial investment. High technical and commercial losses, coupled with the absence of a business-oriented approach in utility management, have resulted in unsustainable operations. According to the 2025 Census, approximately 18% of Indian households still lack access to reliable electricity.
