The Indian power sector is experiencing robust growth, driven by increasing energy demand fueled by rapid economic expansion and urbanization. A compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.80% indicates a significant expansion of the market, projected to reach substantial value within the forecast period (2025-2033). Key drivers include government initiatives promoting renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, alongside investments in transmission and distribution infrastructure to enhance grid reliability and reach underserved areas. The segment breakdown reveals a substantial contribution from thermal power, though the renewable energy segment is rapidly gaining traction, driven by decreasing costs and supportive policies. Major players like Adani Group, Tata Power, and NTPC are strategically positioning themselves to capitalize on this growth, investing in new generation capacity and grid modernization. However, challenges remain, including the need for consistent policy support to attract further investment in renewable energy, addressing the intermittency challenges associated with renewables, and managing the integration of diverse power generation sources into a stable grid. Furthermore, concerns regarding environmental sustainability and the need to balance energy security with environmental protection necessitate careful planning and technological advancements. While the thermal power segment currently dominates, the increasing adoption of renewable energy sources like solar and wind, coupled with government incentives and decreasing technology costs, will significantly reshape the market landscape in the coming years. The transmission and distribution segment is also crucial for enabling the efficient delivery of power across the country, requiring further investments in upgrading infrastructure to meet the growing demand and integrate diverse energy sources. Geographical variations in demand and resource availability further influence regional growth patterns.

Micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in India are critical for employment yet face significant challenges from economic and policy shifts. We analyzed the determinants of employment generation in three distinct MSME clusters in Uttar Pradesh, India, using primary survey data from 150 enterprises. We employed Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and hierarchical regression to identify key functional drivers. Foundational firm attributes explained the majority of variation in employment; however, we found evidence for differential policy responses. Specifically, employment growth was directly driven by policy factors related to 'Business Growth & Opportunity Perception' and 'Employment Incentive'. At the same time, financial access and technological adoption showed no direct effects but demonstrated significant correlations with the policy environment, suggesting the existence of indirect pathways. Our findings corroborate the importance of targeted policy support and may help explain the mechanistic drivers of employment generation in the MSME ecosystem under future economic scenarios.

Abstract

Financial inclusion is critical in reducing poverty and achieving inclusive economic growth. When people can participate in the financial system, they are better able to start and expand businesses, invest in their children’s education, and absorb financial shocks. Yet prior to 2011, little was known about the extent of financial inclusion and the degree to which such groups as the poor, women, and rural residents were excluded from formal financial systems.

By collecting detailed indicators about how adults around the world manage their day-to-day finances, the Global Findex allows policy makers, researchers, businesses, and development practitioners to track how the use of financial services has changed over time. The database can also be used to identify gaps in access to the formal financial system and design policies to expand financial inclusion.

Sampling procedure

As in the first edition, the indicators in the 2014 Global Findex are drawn from survey data covering almost 150,000 people in more than 140 economies-representing more than 97 percent of the world's population. The survey was carried out over the 2014 calendar year by Gallup, Inc. as part of its Gallup World Poll, which since 2005 has continually conducted surveys of approximately 1,000 people in each of more than 160 economies and in over 140 languages, using randomly selected, nationally representative samples. The target population is the entire civilian, noninstitutionalized population age 15 and above. The set of indicators will be collected again in 2017.

Surveys are conducted face to face in economies where telephone coverage represents less than 80 percent of the population or is the customary methodology. In most economies the fieldwork is completed in two to four weeks. In economies where face-to-face surveys are conducted, the first stage of sampling is the identification of primary sampling units. These units are stratified by population size, geography, or both, and clustering is achieved through one or more stages of sampling. Where population information is available, sample selection is based on probabilities proportional to population size; otherwise, simple random sampling is used. Random route procedures are used to select sampled households. Unless an outright refusal occurs, interviewers make up to three attempts to survey the sampled household. To increase the probability of contact and completion, attempts are made at different times of the day and, where possible, on different days. If an interview cannot be obtained at the initial sampled household, a simple substitution method is used. Respondents are randomly selected within the selected households by means of the Kish grid. In economies where cultural restrictions dictate gender matching, respondents are randomly selected through the Kish grid from among all eligible adults of the interviewer's gender.

In economies where telephone interviewing is employed, random digit dialing or a nationally representative list of phone numbers is used. In most economies where cell phone penetration is high, a dual sampling frame is used. Random selection of respondents is achieved by using either the latest birthday or Kish grid method. At least three attempts are made to reach a person in each household, spread over different days and times of day.

The sample size in India was 3,000 individuals.

Mode of data collection

Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]

Research instrument

The questionnaire was designed by the World Bank, in conjunction with a Technical Advisory Board composed of leading academics, practitioners, and policy makers in the field of financial inclusion. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Gallup Inc. also provided valuable input. The questionnaire was piloted in multiple countries, using focus groups, cognitive interviews, and field testing. The questionnaire is available in 142 languages upon request.

Questions on cash withdrawals, saving using an informal savings club or person outside the family, domestic remittances, school fees, and agricultural payments are only asked in developing economies and few other selected countries. The question on mobile money accounts was only asked in economies that were part of the Mobile Money for the Unbanked (MMU) database of the GSMA at the time the interviews were being held.
