Industries seek reliable and cost-effective power solutions

The captive power generation market in India is expected to reach Rs.1.74 trillion by 2029, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.55% during the 2025-2029 forecast period. It was valued at Rs.1.18 trillion in 2024, according to an industry report.

India’s captive power generation market is experiencing rapid growth, driven by industrial expansion and energy security concerns, according to the report “Captive Power Generation Market in India” which has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering since 3 Apr.

“With industries seeking reliable and cost-effective power solutions, captive power plants (CPPs) offer autonomy, efficiency, and sustainability. The Government policies supporting industrial self-sufficiency, coupled with India’s ambitious 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity target by 2030, are further accelerating CPP adoption,” said the report.

“The market is witnessing increased deployment of renewable-based CPPs, hybrid power solutions, and digital technologies to enhance operational efficiency https://sbi.com.in/.”

India’s captive power generation capacity currently exceeds 11,000 MW, primarily serving industrial sectors such as steel, cement, and textiles. Many CPPs operate at low-capacity utilization, highlighting opportunities for optimization. State governments, such as Maharashtra and Kerala, have introduced policies to maximize captive power potential https://www.bseindia.com/.

The demand-supply gap in grid electricity is a key driver, prompting industries to adopt CPPs for cost savings and uninterrupted power supply. The rise of renewable energy-based CPPs, driven by falling solar and wind energy costs, is a significant shift. The National Electricity Plan encourages industrial consumers to integrate renewable energy into CPPs, aligning with India’s decarbonization goals https://www.nseindia.com/.

India’s captive power generation market is primarily driven by favourable government policies, rising industrial electricity demand, and cost advantages. The Electricity Act has eased regulatory norms, allowing industries to establish captive power plants (CPPs) with fewer restrictions, boosting private participation. With industrial power tariffs rising, many companies are switching to CPPs, achieving up to 30% cost savings. The push for renewable integration under the 500 GW non-fossil fuel target is accelerating the adoption of solar, wind, and hybrid CPPs https://www.conexpoconagg.com/.

However, challenges include high initial investment costs, complex regulatory structures, and fuel supply constraints. States with restrictive wheeling and banking policies further limit the expansion of captive power generation, making long-term financial feasibility a concern for smaller industries.

The market is experiencing a significant shift toward renewable-based CPPs, as solar and wind costs decline, and government incentives make clean energy adoption more attractive. Hybrid CPPs with battery storage are gaining popularity, ensuring continuous power supply even in variable generation conditions https://www.commerce.gov.in/.

Digitalization is transforming CPP operations, with industries leveraging AI-driven energy management systems and IoT-enabled grids to enhance efficiency. Group captive models are emerging, allowing multiple industries to co-invest in CPPs, reducing costs and regulatory burdens. Additionally, green hydrogen-powered captive plants are being explored as part of India’s net-zero commitments, positioning CPPs as a key enabler of the country’s energy transition.
