The global energy transition is becoming a key challenge for the countries of the Global South, where the largest energy consumers are concentrated. The relevance of the study lies in the need to understand the different trajectories of decarbonization in developing economies using the example of India and China, the second and third largest consumers of electricity in the world. The purpose of the work is to conduct a comparative analysis of the transformation of the sectoral and territorial structures of the electric power industry of the two countries and assess their readiness for the energy transition. The research methodology is based on the analysis of the dynamics of the generation structure and installed capacities for the period 2000–2024, the study of the territorial distribution of energy resources and the application of the energy transition index (ETI) to assess the effectiveness of transformation.
