Rural Electrification and its Impact on Demand for Electric Appliances in Rural India: Outlook 2018-2030 - ResearchAndMarkets.com

The "Rural Electrification and its Impact on Demand for Electric Appliances in Rural India - Outlook 2018-2030" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Rural electrification is not a new agenda and has remained one irrespective of the political party ruling at the center. However, with the evolution of rural sector's social and economic profile, along with build-up of power availability, generation capacity and transmission & distribution, the profile of rural electricity has seen significant positive changes over the last few years.

The rural electrification agenda goes back to 2005 when under the leadership of UPA government schemes such as Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana were launched. Following this, the incumbent government, starting July 2015, launched Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) which talked about complete rural electrification by 2018 and providing 24x7 power supply to all households in collaboration with the various state departments by 2021-2022. DDUGJY also provides state governments with subsidies to provide free connections to below poverty line households.
