India power output reaches two-year high on heat demand

India electricity generation rose 5.3% to 167.61 billion kilowatt-hours in April, the highest output since May 2024. Intense heat across the region drove peak power demand to a record 256.1 GW on April 25. For investors, this surge tests the resilience of the national grid as the government prepares for peak loads to hit 270 GW during the midday heat of May and June.
