Highlights
- The country has an ambitious target of 450 GW of solar and wind in 2030.
- It pledges to reach carbon-neutrality by 2070.
- Fossil fuel production is dominated by state-owned companies CIL for coal and ONGC for gas and oil.
- Power generation is shared between national public utilities (around 40%), and State utilities and private companies (around 30% each).
- Coal and lignite production reached its highest level in 2021.
- The renewable capacity (excluding large hydro) overtook 100 GW in 2021.
- Gas prices more than tripled between early 2021 and early 2022.
- Energy consumption rebounded by 5% in 2021 but is still below its 2019 level.
- Three-fourths of the consumption is still met by fossil fuels.
- Almost 60 TWh of coal-fired power generation is planned to be replaced by 30 GW of renewable capacity by 2026.

Abstract
Institutions & Energy Policy
The management of the energy sector is split between several ministries: the Ministry of Power (MoP) for electricity and the coordination of energy conservation programmes; the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG); the Ministry of Coal; and, finally, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
Energy Supply
Oil:
Oil production exceeded its 2019 level by 16% to 43 Mt in 2021, following a decrease of around 5% in 2020.
Energy Prices
Oil:
In 2010, the Government liberalised the price of motor gasoline and it fully liberalised diesel prices in 2014, to end the costly diesel subsidies, which amounted to about 1.4% of GDP in FY2013. Since their liberalisation, diesel and gasoline prices now follow international prices.
Energy Consumption
Total energy consumption per capita remains around 0.7 toe (2021), half the Asian average. Electricity consumption per capita reached 970 kWh in 2021, about a third of the Asian average.
Total energy consumption reached 927 Mtoe in 2021 (+4.7%), which is still 1.2% below the 2019 level. It had increased rapidly over 2010-2019 (4%/year).
Issues & Prospects
The energy sector is faced with several challenges: the level of oil production is low, while the consumption is rising sharply, leading to more imports. In both oil and gas sectors, sizeable investments are needed to increase energy production and improve infrastructure, especially for supporting larger imports.
