At the time when the Government of India has succeeded in its reform process, the economy is poised to grow at an annual rate of 5% during 2005-2010. The reforms include policies to woo foreign investors, make import duties in compliance with WTO commitments and customize the EXIM policy to boost imports. Encouragingly, these policies have had a favorable impact on India’s energy sector. With declining costs in oil imports, the government has promised a vibrant production in domestic energy by facilitating conditions for private and foreign investments.

A market research report called “India’s Energy Sector (2005-2010)” published by RNCOS discusses among other things, the current government policies on energy sector, efforts in increasing energy capacity in the Caspian and Asian belt and, the strategies for managing India’s energy needs at home and abroad. The market research report measures the impact of economic, political and regulatory environment on the industry. It also makes an analysis of the installed capacity of renewable energy sources in the country, the implication of government policies and the pilot projects undertaken in the said sector.

According to the market research report’s statistics, India’s demand for petroleum has increased three times to 10% per annum while domestic production of oil has declined, thereby pressurizing on the country’s imports. To this effect as the government has subsidized production of oil products and their prices; it has resulted in monetary loss to the government exchequer. It is estimated that demand for natural gas would be 1.2tcf by 2010 and 1.6tcf in 2015. With an increasing need to find more sources of renewable energy, the government has launched pilot projects being acclaimed by the world, built new refineries, privatized the power sector and reduced energy related urban pollution. All these are to overcome bottlenecks in the energy sector and to continue economic growth.

REPORT FEATURES:

The market research report prepared by RNCOS elaborates on the demand - supply market in of the Indian energy sector. It has calculated the financial figures of each state to give an idea of the current energy market in the country.

Moving chapter wise, the third chapter gives recent developments, its key indicators, India’s energy reserves, trends and forecasts of energy sources. Chapter 4 deals with industry restructuring and price deregulation, demand and supply of 2000-2010, India’s energy production and consumption estimates, sources of renewable energy in India, Indian oil and gas production, India as a source of LNG market, the atomic energy outlook, trends and forecasts for energy industry (2003-05), sales and distribution of electric power generation, import – export for oil and gas field machinery, disinvestments and trade policies, institutional and regulatory structures, review of oil prices and, factors contributing to export and import of renewable energy equipment. Chapters 5,6,7 and 8 deals with reform and policy analysis, energy conservation and pollution control and, funding and investment of power projects, respectively. Chapter 9, 10, 11, and 12 handles Indo – China, Indo –Iran and Indo – Russia energy policies and co-operation. Chapters 13, 14 and 15 give technology, opportunities and recommendations for future energy growth. And finally chapter 16 gives profiles of major companies like GAIL, IOCL, ONGC etc., in Indian energy market.
