Abstract

The imperative for energy security is paramount for global, national and internal stability and development. Using an indicator based approach, the present study develops a framework for sustainable energy security of India. First, it presents the energy supply and demand situation in the country under different scenarios. Then it conceptualizes the notion of energy security and quantifies it for India with the help of different indicators for energy security available in the literature. Both the supply and demand side views and both micro and macro dimensions are considered in assessing how secured India as a country is with respect to our energy future. The dimensions that include energy security are: economic, environmental, social and institutional. This will help planners and policy makers to understand India's energy scene better and design policies to develop sustainable technologies and practices to ensure energy resources last long.
