Section 01
Place, load & energy journey
Define where energy is produced, moved, stored and used.
Record India → State/UT → District → city/block → village/ward; household, farm, business, industry or critical facility; source, feeder and service channel; load and peak; outage or quality event; asset condition; weather context; and safest useful data resolution.
Data reference table
Evidence Snapshot
Read each value with its reporting period, population and limitations. A historical national reference is not a local baseline or proof that an IFT proposal works.
3 source-linked reference records. 3 measurement records still need data and a review of their relevance.
| Signal | Reference Value | Period / Population | How to Read It | Source Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Average daily rural electricity supply | 21.9 hours/day Historical reference | FY 2024 (2023–24) India; rural areas in the parliamentary reply | A reported national rural average. Limitations: An average does not guarantee supply at a particular home, voltage quality or power during a critical period. | Ministry of Power / PIB Official government release Households Electrified under Saubhagya Published: 2024-11-28 Publication checked: 2026-11-04 Value, period and coverage checked in publication |
| Average daily urban electricity supply | 23.4 hours/day Historical reference | FY 2024 (2023–24) India; urban areas in the parliamentary reply | A reported national urban average. Limitations: Does not establish continuous 24-hour supply, feeder reliability or neighbourhood-level service. | Ministry of Power / PIB Official government release Households Electrified under Saubhagya Published: 2024-11-28 Publication checked: 2026-11-04 Value, period and coverage checked in publication |
| Households reported electrified since Saubhagya launch | Around 2.86 crore households Historical reference | Cumulative to 31 March 2022 India; households reported electrified since programme launch | Historical programme connection count. Limitations: A connection count is not proof of current use, affordability, voltage quality or continuous supply. | Ministry of Power / PIB Official government release Households Electrified under Saubhagya Published: 2024-11-28 Publication checked: 2026-11-04 Value, period and coverage checked in publication |

Section 02
Problem
Describe the service, security or lifecycle outcome gap.
Installed capacity or a connection can coexist with outages, poor voltage, unaffordable service, fuel risk and fragile critical infrastructure.
Energy decisions are often separated from grid capacity, storage, water, land, supply chains, workforce, maintenance and lifecycle environmental cost.
Section 03
Root causes
Test technical, operational, market and planning explanations.
Demand, generation, grid and storage planned in separate silos
Compare demand, outage, asset, fuel, grid, tariff, environmental and user evidence before verification.
Weak local reliability, affordability and asset-condition evidence
Compare demand, outage, asset, fuel, grid, tariff, environmental and user evidence before verification.
Import, cyber, disaster and single-point dependencies
Compare demand, outage, asset, fuel, grid, tariff, environmental and user evidence before verification.
Lifecycle cost, maintenance and transition effects underweighted
Compare demand, outage, asset, fuel, grid, tariff, environmental and user evidence before verification.

Section 05
Evidence
Separate capacity, delivered service, affordability and resilience.
Layer Can show Cannot prove alone
Grid & asset operations Load, quality, outage, loss and restoration Household affordability or cause alone
Fuel, market & user evidence Cost, burden, dependency and coping Complete technical performance everywhere
Lifecycle evaluation Cost, reliability, safety and environmental effect Automatic transfer to every location
Section 06
India-fit solutions
Improve reliability, efficiency, diversity and recovery.
Define the place, load, service standard, user, asset and failure scenario.
Plan source, grid, storage, efficiency, backup and restoration as one system.
Compare technologies by use case, lifecycle cost, security, environment and jobs.
Publish reliability, affordability, resilience and measured-outcome evidence separately.
Section 07
Roadmap
Protect essential loads, diagnose, pilot and institutionalise.
- 0–90 DAYS
- Baseline & protect
Define place, load, service standard, source, asset, failure mode, restoration route and immediate essential-service risk.
- 3–18 MONTHS
- Pilot
Select one district and one critical service or user group; measure demand and failures, protect the essential load, test the smallest viable intervention and independently review reliability, cost, safety and environmental effects.
- 1–10+ YEARS
- Institutionalise
Align generation, grid, storage, efficiency, finance, skills, maintenance, resilience and environmental review.
