Rapid Urbanization and Industrialization Augmenting the Market Growth

With the expansion of cities and new industrial hubs, the demand for uninterrupted power supply contributes to the rising demand for microgrids in the market. Traditional grid infrastructure often struggles to keep pace with the rapid increase in energy consumption and the complexity of distribution in densely populated urban and industrial areas. Microgrids offer a decentralized solution, providing localized power generation and distribution that could operate independently or in tandem with the main grid. This flexibility is particularly valuable for commercial and industrial sectors, which drive its demand in the market.

The country is highly inclined towards power infrastructure investment to fulfill the rising demand for power in different sectors. Additionally, the growing interest in renewable energy sources necessitates the installation of microgrids for integrating renewable sources into the existing grid. Moreover, the utility sector is focusing on urban development strategies, including the creation of smart cities and buildings, which require modern and efficient smart power grids that drive the demand for advanced microgrids in the market. As the country continues to urbanize and industrialize, the microgrid market is poised for robust expansion, playing a pivotal role in shaping the country’s future energy landscape.

For instance, in December 2024, Serentica Renewables India Private Limited announced its plans to invest around USD 5.8 billion to develop 10,000 MW of renewable energy capacity in Rajasthan. This development highlights the state's growth potential and rising investment opportunities in renewable power production, which drives the microgrid demand in the region. Currently, the company has 3,000 MWp of renewable energy capacity under construction in the state. In another instance, in September 2023, the government of Assam approved a USD 624.4 million project to modernize the state's power distribution system. The approved project funded under the revamped distribution sector program (RDSS), seeks to augment the distribution system by March 31, 2026, and is expected to benefit around 6.7 million electricity consumers across Assam. With the rising investment in the power distribution systems drive the demand for microgrids in the India market in forecast period.

Government Support and Investment in Power Infrastructure Creates Market Opportunity

Government programs pushing for universal electrification in the rural residential sector have accelerated the need for decentralized power solutions such as microgrids in the market. Microgrids are able to manage voltage fluctuation which results in the supply of safe and efficient power to residential and commercial sectors. The Indian government is prioritizing reliable electricity supply, investing in grid expansion, modernization, and renewable energy integration which creates opportunities for the microgrids market growth in the coming years. Initiatives such as Saubhagya Yojana and Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) aim to provide last-mile connectivity, making microgrids a viable alternative in the market.

Infrastructure investments in smart grids, green energy corridors, and smart metering complement the deployment of the microgrid market in the forecast period. Programs like the Smart Cities Mission integrate urban microgrids for backup power and renewable energy use, while defense and disaster-resilience projects drive demand in critical sectors. In addition, the government participates in investments which include significant upgrades to distribution networks which contribute to rising demand for microgrid market growth in the coming years. Large companies are investing in the renewable energy sector which drive the demand for the microgrids in the market.

For instance, in February 2025, during the Global Investors Summit held in Bhopal, NTPC Limited, alongside its subsidiary NTPC Green Energy Ltd (NGEL), formalized several strategic memoranda of understanding with the Government of Madhya Pradesh. These agreements outline substantial investments in renewable power generation, encompassing solar, wind, pumped hydro, and other carbon-neutral energy sources within the state. The total announced investment is around USD 23 billion.

AC Microgrid Dominate the Indian Market

The demand for AC microgrids is increasing in the market due to rising investments in existing power infrastructure. The AC microgrids are highly compatible with the existing power infrastructure and able to maintain a reliable power supply in different areas which drives its demand in the market. In India, the majority of the electrical devices, commercial appliances, and industrial equipment are set to work using AC power, so AC microgrids hold the market share on a wider scale. In addition, a nation experiences a rise in the use of electricity fueled by accelerating urbanization, industrial growth which increases the need for microgrids in the market.

In addition, AC microgrids are able to meet the growing demand for localized resilient energy systems, which would be capable of functioning independently and providing uninterrupted operations even during grid failures, thus increasing its demand in the market. In addition, the growing use of renewable energy sources is frequently integrated into AC microgrid architectures, which is driving their implementation in the country. Government policies and supporting initiatives are leading to technological improvements in control systems and energy storage devices, which further make the AC microgrids efficient and reliable in operation, driving the segment to lead the market.
