India generated more power than Japan and Germany combined

India produced 2,082 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2025. Japan and Germany together managed 1,530 TWh. Both are famously industrial economies, and the pair sit well below one country that is still building out its grid. The figure is a reminder of how far the weight of global power demand has moved. It also shows how easily a rich-world habit of treating Japan and Germany as the benchmark for big electricity users can go out of date.
