Fuelling the dream: India can take a different trajectory in the energy sector

Publication Year: 2003

Author(s): Rajendra K Pachauri

Abstract:

The evolution of India as a superpower in 2020 presupposes rapid economic growth in the intervening period. If the nation has to reach that status, then the rate of growth would necessarily have to be 8-10 per cent per annum. The record of the developed countries shows that the growth of consumption of energy has been higher than the rate of economic growth itself.
