Energy Security in India

Seema Devi

Abstract :

 Energy is the base for all human development. India is a vast economy and its energy requirements are huge. But India’s installed power capacity is far less than its energy demand. Various factors are responsible for this gap in demand and supply of energy. The major factors include depleting reserves of coal, shocks in the supply of imported crude, volatility of international prices of crude oil, highest transmission & distribution losses etc. Renewable resources are not developed to their full potential and require great thrust on R& D in a time-bound manner to ensure energy security of country. Government has started various missions and a comprehensive Integrated Energy Policy 2031-32 (IEP- 2031-32) covering the entire energy sector together for the first time. To complement the efforts of Governments, people’s participation and awareness is must to achieve the goal of energy security and sustainable development in India
