India's power use dips a bit as winter sets in

India Dec 01, 2025

India's power consumption slipped by 0.31% this November—down to 123.4 billion units from last year's 123.79 billion—as cooler weather meant fewer fans and ACs running.
Still, peak demand actually hit a new November record at 215.54 GW, showing that even with the overall dip, there were moments when everyone seemed to need electricity at once.

Weather keeps shaking up energy trends

Unseasonal rains and chilly November days cut down on cooling needs, but India's hottest months keep pushing demand higher—like the massive 250 GW spike back in May.
Looking ahead, officials think we might see an all-time high of 277 GW next summer, proving just how much our energy habits swing with the seasons.
