P. Gupta, Professor: Department of Finance and Business Economics, University of Delhi View Program The report estimated that with the rising penetration of EVs, their share in global electricity consumption will rise from 0.5 per cent in 2023 to between 8.

1 per cent and 9.8 per cent by 2035. This growth in EV usage highlights the need for countries, including India, to prepare their energy infrastructure for the increased demand.

As more people adopt electric vehicles, the power sector will need to expand capacity to meet the new electricity needs efficiently. The report also sheds light on another critical issue for India - the increasing demand for cooling devices , particularly air conditioners (ACs). With extreme temperatures becoming more frequent across the country, the demand for cooling solutions is expected to rise sharply.

"Extreme temperatures in India driving the need for more cooling devices" the report said. According to the data, the penetration of household appliances, particularly ACs, is expected to see a sharp increase in India over the next decade. The report highlights that the demand for ACs in India is projected to double by 2030, driven by the surge in extreme heat.

As temperatures continue to rise, more households are likely to invest in cooling devices, adding to the overall electricity consumption in the country. (You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel ).
