| Abstract: | India is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, and its energy demand has been rising rapidly. Electricity consumption has been increasing steadily over the past few decades due to various factors such as population growth, urbanization, and industrialization. This paper provides an overview of the current state of electricity consumption and its sources in India. India's electricity sector is characterized by a mix of different energy sources, including coal, natural gas, hydroelectric, nuclear, and renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, and biomass. Coal remains the dominant source of electricity generation, accounting for around 70% of total electricity generation. However, the government is actively promoting the use of renewable energy sources to reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels and to mitigate the adverse impacts of climate change. Despite efforts to increase the share of renewable energy, the growth in electricity demand has outpaced the growth in renewable energy installations. India faces several challenges in the electricity sector, including power shortages, transmission and distribution losses, and inadequate infrastructure. To meet the growing demand for electricity, the government has initiated several programs and policies to promote the use of renewable energy, such as the National Solar Mission and the National Wind Mission. Overall, India's electricity consumption is expected to continue to grow in the coming years, driven by economic development and rising population. However, the country's energy mix is likely to shift towards renewable energy sources, as the government continues to prioritize the development of renewable energy infrastructure and technologies. the study analyses the electricity consumption, with the objective of understanding the current scenario and predicting future outcomes. The analysis is based on the data collected from various sources, including the Central Electricity Authority (CEA) and the International Energy Agency (IEA) and Reserve Bank of India, Using simple statistical tools percentage change, growth rate an overview of the electricity consumption patterns in India is present, the paper concludes with recommendations for policymakers to promote sustainable energy sources and improve the efficiency of the power sector in India. |
