Evolution of the concept of energy security and its meaning with regard to India’s energy sector.

What is it about?

In the context of energy security, it aims to understand the impact of rising gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and change in oil prices on energy use; patterns in production, consumption and import of major sources of energy, such as crude oil, natural gas and coal in India; and the current structure of India’s energy sector and the impact of regulatory policies thereon.
