  • Increased share of electrification on consumption side to 20.9%.

  • It can also help in analysing energy intensity of the country thereby enabling policy makers to formulate robust policies and carry out course corrections.
Way Forward
  • There exists limited data on non-commercial energy sources such as biomass although these modes meet significant energy needs.
  • There appeared a need to bridge the existing gap in the exploration side of data (i.e., 2D, and 3D surveys).
  • There is also a possibility that a significant amount of data could be collected from government-subsidized projects and disseminated and would be captured in the upcoming editions of the report.
