DUBLIN, Apr. 02, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --Research and Markets

(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/wffdx2/india_smart_grid) has announced the addition of the "India Smart Grid: Market Forecast (2015 - 2025) " report to their offering.

In many ways, India represents the best smart grid market opportunity among all emerging market countries. India has the second largest electricity customer market size in the world. Unlike China, which has the largest, the Indian market is likely to be open to international vendors, creating significantly larger market opportunities.

Just as important, India has power sector market conditions that will require significant smart grid investment. At 22.7%, India has one of the highest T&D loss rates in the world. In some states, loss rates exceed 50%, and almost all states have loss rates above 15%. Most Indian utilities fail to achieve cost recovery, and smart grid investment will be an important tool for utilities to reduce losses and improve revenue collection and operational efficiency.

Key questions answered in this study:

- How large will six smart grid market segments and fourteen sub-markets be in 2025?
- What are the unique regulatory frameworks and industry structures in place in the leading Indian states?
- How much money can each state and utility save by reducing non-technical losses?
- What financing mechanisms are available for smart grid in India?
- Where are distribution franchises improving the market conditions for smart grid investment?
- What is the current status of smart grid pilot projects in India and what are the major hurdles?
- Who are the leading local and international vendors?
