India’s energy sector is on a trajectory towards self-sufficiency, aligning with the Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision. Positioned as one of the largest and fastest-growing energy markets globally, the country is witnessing a shift from conventional combustion to electrification. Projections indicate a robust 6.4% CAGR in energy consumption, excluding coal and oil, until 2050. With a natural advantage in green energy, India is expected to transition from an energy-deficient state to being energy self-sufficient.
