Highlights
- The rapid growth of the renewable capacity is primarily driven by the government's aggressive push to achieve 220 GW in 2022 and 450 GW in 2030.
- The government is opening up the oil and gas sector with the privatization of BCPL. Electricity generation is dominated by private players, although state-owned NTPC is still the largest player.
- Growth in power generation stopped in 2019. Imports of crude oil fell sharply in 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis.
- The country achieved a 50% increase in renewable capacities (incl. large hydro) over 2016-2019.
- Energy prices have decreased in 2020 after several years of increase, especially natural gas is particularly concerned.
- Energy consumption continues to grow steadily, with three-fourths of the consumption still met by fossil fuels. The residential and tertiary sector is the largest end user.
- The primary energy mix will move towards more gas and renewable electricity.

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
Resources:
India has substantial coal reserves (101 Gt of proven reserves in 2019); however, a large part of the coal is poor quality. Its proven lignite reserves are estimated at 5 Gt (concentrated in Tamil Nadu).
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 FY 2013-14. Since their liberalisation, diesel and gasoline prices now follow international prices.
Energy Consumption
Total energy consumption per capita remains around 0.7 toe (2019), half the Asian average. Electricity consumption per capita was less than 900 kWh in 2019, 66% below the Asian average.
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.

In the India energy market report you will find the following tables:
- Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO2 emissions.
- Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source.
- Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
- Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.
- Infrastructure Projects: Covers power plant projects by energy, technology, status and operator, gas plant projects by status and operator and LNG contracts.
The India energy market data since 1990 and up to 2019 is included in the Excel file accompanying the India country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.
