SCENARIO
INTRODUCTION
India is the fifth largest consumer of energy accounting
3.4% of global energy consumption.
Rich in coal and renewable energy.
Natural gas
Nuclear power
Hydro power
Coal:
• Dominates the energy mix.
• Contributes to 55% of primary energy production &
53% of energy consumption.
• India fourth largest producer.
• 70% total domestic electricity & 50% commercial
energy demand is met.
• 8.6% of world reserves ie. about 84396 million tonne &
last for next 235 years
• Lignite is also used
• Dominant fuel when energy demand increases in
future
Oil:
• Accounts for 36% of total energy consumption and
34% total energy production.
• India is one among top ten consumer in the world
• 0.3% world’s reserves
• 70% of demand is met by imports i.e 1.2 million
barrel per day.
• Consumption of petrol in transport sector-53%,
domestic-18%, industries-17% .
• Total installed capacity of Diesel based power plants
in India is 1,199.75 MW.
• 20-17% decline in share in primary energy
production
Natural gas:
• Accounts for 8% of energy consumption & 9% of
energy production.
• The total installed capacity of gas based power
plants in India is 17,353.85 MW about 10% of total
installed capacity.
• A demand of 200mcmd against availability of
103.08mcmd.
• 10% – 13% increase in share of natural gas in
primary energy production.
Electrical energy
• Out of total production
65.8% comes from thermal power plant,
26.3% from hydro electricity,
3.1% from nuclear power & rest renewable sources
• Gross generation of energy is 531 billion units.
Overall electrification rate is 64.5%.
• Power generation assets are not evenly spread.
• 52.5% of rural households have access to
electricity while in urban areas it is 93.1% .
• Electricity demand outstripped supply by
7-11%. Plans 8-10% growth ie. 215,804MW
capacity
Nuclear power
• Fourth largest source of electricity.
• Contributes to 2.5% in total energy production,
and 3.1% in electricity generation.
• Nineteen nuclear power reactors and six nuclear
power plants produce 4,560 MW(2.9% of total
installed base).
• To achieve 20000 MW generation capacity
Hydro power
• Only 15% utilized
• 25% share in total generation unit with installed
capacity of 36877 MW
• It share in power generation has decreased

Thermal power
• Accounts for 64.6% in total energy production.
• Installed capacity of Thermal Power is 1,04,424
MW which is 63.7% of total installed capacity.
• Thermal power produced from
Medium-term strategy:
• Demand management through conservation of energy,
structural changes in economy, model mix in
transportation sector, recycling
• A shift to less energy-intensive modes of transport
• Shift to renewable sources of energy.
Long – term strategy:
• Efficient generation of energy resources.
• Efficient production of coal.oil & natural gas.
• Reduction of natural gas flaring
• Improving energy infrastructure
• Creation of urban gas transmission and distribution
network.
• Improving energy efficiency in accordance with national,
socio-economic & environmental priorities.
• Promoting of energy efficiency & emission standards.
• Programs for adopting energy efficient technologies in
large industries.
• Deregulation and privatization of energy sector
• Building new refineries, coal and gas fired power
stations.
• Reducing cross subsidies on oil products & electricity
tariffs.
• Investment legislation to attract foreign investments.
• Streamlining approval process for attracting private
sector participation in power generation, transmission &
distribution.
