A data overview is available in the global energy statistics app
Total Energy Consumption
Total energy consumption per capita remains around 0.7 toe (2021), half the Asian average. Electricity consumption per capita reached 920 kWh in 2021, about a third of the Asian average.
Total energy consumption increased by 9% in 2021 to 951 Mtoe, after a 5.9% drop in 2020. It had increased rapidly over 2010-2019 (3.7%/year).
Coal is the country's top energy source with a share of 46% in 2021, followed by oil (23%) and biomass (21%). Natural gas covers 6% and primary electricity (hydro, nuclear, solar, and wind) 4%.

Crude Oil Production
Oil production has been declining since 2010, reaching 34 Mt in 2021 (-5% since 2018).
India is the world's third largest importer of crude oil, with imports of 210 Mt in 2021 (+4.7% compared to 2015). In 2021, crude oil imports represented 88% of the country's oil needs. The country is a net oil product exporter (23 Mt in 2021), although its exports have fallen by 31% since 2015.
Net oil imports rebounded in 2021 (5%) after a sharp decrease in 2020 (-11%) due to the Covid-19 crisis, and have increased by about a further 10% over the first nine months of 2022.

Oil Products Consumption
As a consequence of the Covid-19 crisis, oil product consumption fell sharply in 2020 (-8.8%) and rebounded by 5.2% in 2021 to 213 Mt, which is still below the 2019 level. It had increased rapidly over 2010-2019 (4.4%/year).
Of the total consumption for 2021, 42% was used in transport, 30% in industry (including non-energy uses), and 21% in the residential, services, and agriculture sector. The remainder is consumed in power plants (1%) and in the hydrocarbon industry (6%).

Renewable in % Electricity Production
IREDA, the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency, finances the development of renewables. SECI, Solar Energy Corporation of India, under MNRE, manages the implementation of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM), which aims to deploy 100 GW of solar power over 2010-2022. By mid-2022, only half of this target has been achieved.

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions
In its updated NDC (August 2022), the country reiterated a target to reduce its CO2 emission intensity of GDP by 45% in 2030, compared to 2005 levels. It also aims for 50% of the total electricity capacity to be based on non-fossil fuel sources in 2030 (the previous target was 40%) from 36% in 2021. It is also considering implementing a carbon market.
In 2019, the government announced a 100% railway electrification target in 2030 as part of its strategy to reduce its CO2 emissions.
In 2021, the country pledged to reach net-zero emissions in 2070.
