                                    ECONOMY

                              "That economics is untrue which ignores or disregards moral                                 values."                                                       
                                                                         - M.K. Gandhi  

About 74 percent of India's electricity is produced in thermal facilities using coal or petroleum products. In addition, about 23 percent is generated by hydroelectric facilities, and 3 percent is produced in nine nuclear power plants, including ones at Kota and near Bombay. In the early 1990s India had an electricity-generating capacity of approximately 82 million kilowatts, and annual output was about 310 billion kilowatt-hours.
