India Plans Rs 9 Trillion Investment in Power Transmission Infrastructure by 2032

India plans to invest nearly Rs 9 trillion in power transmission infrastructure by 2032 to support rising electricity demand and renewable energy expansion. The country aims to add about 470 GW of solar and wind capacity over the next decade, increasing the need for transformers, substations, and transmission lines. High-Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) systems are expected to play a key role, with the HVDC market projected to grow from $15 billion in 2025 to $31 billion by 2035. This upgrade will also support sectors like data centers, railway electrification, and electric vehicle infrastructure.
