Indian electricity sector, energy security and sustainability: An empirical assessment

---

Despite progresses achieved in several directions, Indian electricity sector continues to suffer from multiple
anomalies that might endanger the energy security of the country. It is pertinent at this juncture to ask the
question whether the sector is moving on a sustainable growth trajectory. Using a sustainable development
framework, the present study evaluates how sustainable the Indian electricity sector is. It employs 11 indicators
representing three dimensions of sustainable development i.e. economic, environmental and social and analyses
12 Indian states over a decade period. The findings of study suggest that the sector is moving towards sustainability
though deviations exist in the performance of individual states and individual dimensions. The
economic dimension shows a non-linear trend with multiple ups and downs. The environmental dimension
indicates first a falling trend up to 2005-06 and rising sharply thereafter. The social dimension reveals a declining
trend during the initial periods of the study and picking up in the last few years. Feed-in tariff policy of
the Indian government is found to be successful in improving the electricity accessibility and diversifying the
electricity supply and raising share of renewable energy which are in line with higher energy security goals.
