The National Statistics Office (NSO), Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation has released the annual publication “Energy Statistics India 2025”. It comprises integrated dataset containing diverse key information about reserve, capacity, production, Consumption, and import/export of all the energy commodities (like Coal, Lignite, Petroleum, Natural Gas, Renewable Energy, etc.) of India It also contains different tables (like Energy Balance), graphs (like Sankey Diagram), and Sustainable Energy Indicators as per International Standards.
Key Highlights
- During the Financial Year 2023-24, India has experienced a steady and healthy growth in both, energy supply and consumption by overcoming the shock of global Pandemic to fulfil the dream of becoming a Viksit Bharat by 2047.
- During the FY 2023-24, Indian economy has depicted a healthy expansion with the Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES) registering a growth of 7.8% over the past year and stood at 9,03,158 KToE(Kilo Tonnes of oil Equivalent).
- Renewable Energy: India has a huge potential for generation of renewable energy which stands at 21,09,655 Megawatt as on 31-Mar-24.
- The potential of generating energy from Wind Power is having the dominating share of 11,63,856 Megawatt (around 55%) which is followed by Solar Energy (7,48,990 Megawatt) and Large Hydro (1,33,410).
- More than half of the potential for generation of renewable energy has been concentrated within the four States of India viz. Rajasthan (20.3%), Maharashtra (11.8%), Gujarat (10.5%) and Karnataka (9.8%).
- Installed-capacity for generating electricity (including Utility and Non-Utility) from the Renewable resources: It has also experienced a significant growth over the past years.
- From 81,593 Mega Watt as on 31-Mar-2015, it has risen to 1,98,213 Mega Watt as on 31-Mar-2024, which is a CAGR of 10.36% over the years.
- Gross generation of electricity from the Renewable resources (both Utility and Non-Utility together): It has also increased significantly over the years.
- From an amount of 2,05,608 GWH of electricity generated during FY 2014-15, it has increased to 3,70,320 GWH during FY 2023-24, which is a CAGR of 6.76% over the years.
- Growth in the per-capita consumption of energy: It has gone up from 14,682 Mega Joule/person during FY 2014-15 to 18,410 Mega Joule/person during FY 2023-24 which is a CAGR of 2.55% over the years.
- Utilization of the electricity: It has been significantly improved over the years by reducing the losses incurred due to transmission and distribution.
- Percentage loss due to Transmission and Distribution which was around 23% during FY 2014-15 has gone down to around 17% during FY 2023-24.
- Major end-use energy- consuming sectors: Among all the major end-use energy- consuming sectors, the Industry sector, has witnessed maximum expansion during FY 2023-24.
- The consumption against Industry sector has increased from 2,42,418 KToE during FY 2014-15 to 3,11,822 KToE during FY 2023-24.
- All other sectors like Commercial and Public service, Residential, Agriculture and Forestry have also registered a consistent growth over the periods.
