In the first eleven months of FY21, domestic electricity generation declined to a three-year low and was 2.4% less than that in the corresponding period of FY20. This fall was mainly on account of the lower output from conventional sources (thermal, hydro, and nuclear).

Thermal source of electricity generation grew 1.9% on yearly basis in February 2021 and declined by 6.3 % on monthly basis.
