Mumbai: Strong participation by the private sector coupled with several initiatives by the government has pushed up the installed power generation capacity in the country by around 37 percent in the last five years, a Power Ministry report said.
By December 2010, total installed power capacity rose to 1,70,469 MW, from 1,23,901 MW in December 2006, the report 'Half a Decade of Powering Progress' said.
The share of the private sector in power capacity has grown from 11.6 percent in 2006 to 20 percent in 2010, the report said.
It is estimated that private players would add nearly 30 percent of the total capacity addition in the 11th Plan and around 60 percent in the 12th Five Year Plan.
The government estimates that during the current Five Year Plan, the private sector will bring in nearly 19,000 MW, which is 1.
