As of 2021, the estimated population of India is around 1.4 billion people.
We will assume that an average household consists of 4 people. Therefore, the number of households in India would be:
Number of households = Total population / Average household size
Number of households = 1.4 billion / 4
Number of households ≈ 350 million
Electricity consumption varies depending on factors like location, weather, and lifestyle, but we can make an educated guess. Let's assume an average Indian household consumes about 5 kWh (kilowatt-hours) of electricity per day.
Total electricity consumption by households = Number of households * Average electricity consumption per household
Total electricity consumption by households = 350 million * 5 kWh
Total electricity consumption by households = 1,750 million kWh
We will assume that the commercial and industrial sectors combined consume about the same amount of electricity as the residential sector. This is a rough estimate, but it simplifies our calculation.
Total electricity consumption = Total electricity consumption by households + Total electricity consumption by commercial and industrial sectors
Total electricity consumption = 1,750 million kWh + 1,750 million kWh
Total electricity consumption = 3,500 million kWh
So, the total electricity consumption in India per day is approximately 3,500 million kWh. Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate and actual figures may vary.
