By 2050, 21 percent of the population will be over 60, and the old-age dependency ratio will rise from 17 percent to 33 percent. Urbanisation and nuclear families are changing living patterns, with 26.7 percent of urban seniors living alone or only with a spouse.

Installed capacity has crossed 1,500 MW, with growth running at 25–30% annually, supported by strong capital commitments since 2019. The market is currently concentrated in Tier I cities such as Mumbai and Chennai due to submarine cable access, power availability, and enterprise demand.
