India's Ministry of Power is primarily engaged in the production of electricity in India. It generally oversees construction and maintenance projects.
India faces challenges in electrical supply and delivery, and is often unable to meet demand, even in very large cities.
This Ministry is engaged in development of the infrastructure for safe and cost-effective electricity generation, transmission, and delivery. It acts as liaison between the central government and state electricity operation, as well as interfaces with the private sector.

In the UK, a Ministry of Fuel and Power was created on 11 June 1942 from functions separated from the Board of Trade. It took charge of coal production, allocation of supplies of fuels, control of energy prices and petrol rationing.
The Ministry of Fuel and Power was renamed the Ministry of Power in January 1957. The Ministry of Power later became part of the Ministry of Technology on 6 October 1969, which merged into the Department of Trade and Industry on 20 October 1970.
