Captive power Plants reporting gap flagged for FY 2025-26
Captive power Plants reporting has been flagged as incomplete ahead of the 603rd Operation Coordination Committee Meeting, with several states yet to submit FY 2025-26 data. The additional agenda item refers to a Ministry of Power letter that stressed the importance of captive generation data for power-system planning. The Ministry directed distribution utilities and SLDCs to collect month-wise captive generation information for April 2025 to March 2026 and send it to State Chief Electrical Inspectors by 22 May 2026. Captive power Plants also need to be onboarded on the Central Electricity Authority portal for monthly submissions from 1 April 2026. EnergylineIndia.com presents this as a planning and operational issue, not just a routine data reminder. Captive power Plants can affect demand projections, grid dependency, state-level supply assessment and reserve planning. If captive output is not captured correctly, discom demand and system planning assumptions can become weak. This update is relevant for SLDCs, discoms, regulators, large industrial consumers and planning agencies. Captive power Plants reporting also links with News on Indian power sector because it reveals the administrative discipline behind data-driven planning. The WRPC flag shows that some states still need stronger follow-up. Captive power Plants data should be submitted regularly, checked monthly and integrated into state and regional planning systems, Captive Generation, Power Data, WRPC Meeting, SLDC, CEA Data.
