About this dataset

Snapshot registry of India's grid hardware and access economics: central plant catalogue (fuel, capacity, location, owner), major substations (voltage, MVA, location), transmission backbone (corridors, kV, length) and per-state open-access charges (CSS, additional surcharge, wheeling, transmission). Shipped as a formatted multi-sheet workbook in the style institutional consumers asked for, plus raw CSVs.

Coverage — measured, not promised

Static reference snapshot, refreshed periodically (not a time series). Compiled from CEA, Grid-India, state utilities and OpenStreetMap.

Known holes — disclosed, never hidden

No multi-day gaps detected inside the covered window at the last weekly scan.

Caveats — read before you buy

  • Snapshot data; commissioning/retirement since the snapshot date may be missing.
  • Substation geometry partially OSM-derived; verify before construction use.

Frequently asked

What exactly do I get when I buy India Grid Registry Workbook (Plants, Substations, Lines, Open Access)?

A one-time export built fresh from the live India Energy Atlas database at purchase time, delivered as xlsx, csv_gz via a private tokened download link, with a per-state/per-month coverage report and a data dictionary included. Static reference snapshot, refreshed periodically (not a time series). Compiled from CEA, Grid-India, state utilities and OpenStreetMap.

How is this licensed?

CC BY 4.0 — use it anywhere, including published work, with attribution: "India Energy Atlas (energymap.in), CC BY 4.0".

How fresh is the data and how are gaps handled?

The catalog shows live freshness straight from the source tables (15-minute server cache). Exports are built at purchase time, and every known multi-day gap is disclosed in the coverage report on this page — we never sell around a hole silently.

Can I configure the date range and states?

Yes — the configurator lets you pick the time window, states and format before checkout, and the price scales with the window you pick.

Do you offer pro-forma invoices or bank transfer?

Yes. Institutional buyers can request a pro-forma invoice and pay by bank transfer; the order unlocks automatically once payment is marked received. Stripe checkout (cards/UPI) is available for self-serve purchases.
