Coal
India is the second largest producer of coal and second largest importer of coal. Talcher coal based fertilizer plant is under final stages of execution to produce 1.21 million tonnes of urea. This plant is designed to use local coal mixed with
Coal and lignite production was 73.1 crore (731 million) tons in the financial year 2019-2020.
According to
India accounts for the world’s greatest concentration of
As of 2019, coal production was integrated into the Central Government;[15] for example, the Government owned about 75% of Coal India Limited, which supplied about 84% of India's thermal coal.[15]
India imports coking coal as good quality
Oil and natural gas
India was the third top crude oil consumer globally (4.8% of the world) with 221 Mt in 2017. India was the second-top net
Liquefied petroleum gas
Nearly 1 crore (10.937 million) tons
Biomass and charcoal
Huge quantity of imported coal is being used in pulverised coal-fired power stations. Raw biomass is not suitable for use in the pulverised coal mills as they are difficult to
Biofuel
India imports 85% of petroleum products with an import cost of $55 billion in 2020-21, India has set a target of blending 20% ethanol in petrol by 2025 resulting in import substitution saving of US$4 billion or ₹30,000 crore and India provides financial assistance for manufacturing ethanol from rice, wheat, barley, corn, sorghum, sugarcane, sugar beet, etc.[42] In 2016, ethanol market penetration had reached 3.3% blend rate.[43]
Electricity
India was the third largest electricity producer in the world with 1,383 TWh generation in FY 2019–2020 and 99.99% of the population having access to power supply.[44] By 2013, India became the world's third largest producer of electricity with 4.8% global share, surpassing Japan and Russia.[45][46] India ranks 6th globally in hydropower generation during the year 2019.[19]
India has 136 GW (38%) installed capacity of renewable energy. It is one of the world leaders in renewable energy investments and installations.[47]
India has set a target of 175 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity by 2022.[48] This would include 100 GW capacity from solar energy sources, 60 GW from wind power, 10 GW from biopower, and 5 GW from small hydropower.[49]
