India is a big player in energy production and consumption, but its per capita energy use is low. The country has shifted from non-commercial to commercial energy sources since 1947. However, India lacks many energy resources, leading to power shortages and high prices. It imports 70% of its oil needs, mainly from the Middle-East, raising concerns about energy security. To sustain its growth rate, India needs reliable energy at competitive prices. This book gives a detailed look at India's current energy situation and the government's efforts to meet the growing energy demand in a globalized economy.
