Energy Statistics India 2025: Key Highlights from the NSO Report

The National Statistical Office (NSO) has released its annual Energy Statistics India 2025 report, providing a comprehensive overview of the country’s energy scenario. The report covers vital data on energy reserves, installed capacity, production, and consumption across conventional and renewable sources.

 1. Energy Supply and Consumption Trends

• Total Primary Energy Supply (TPES):

  • India’s TPES grew by 7.8% in 2023–24, demonstrating resilience amid global energy market volatility.

  • TPES includes energy from domestic production, net imports (imports minus exports), and excludes energy used for international transport.

• Per Capita Energy Consumption:

  • Increased from 14,682 MegaJoules (MJ) in 2014–15 to 18,410 MJ in 2023–24, reflecting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 2.55%.

  • This rise indicates greater energy access, improved quality of life, and expanding electrification.

• Sector-wise Energy Use:

  • The industrial sector remains the largest energy consumer:

    • Consumption rose from 2.42 lakh Kilo Tonnes of Oil Equivalent (KToE) in 2014–15 to 3.12 lakh KToE in 2023–24.

  • Transport and residential sectors also saw increased consumption due to urbanization and infrastructure growth.

2. Renewable Energy: Accelerating the Transition

India is making significant strides toward clean energy, aligning with its climate goals and net-zero commitment by 2070.

• Renewable Energy Potential:

  • Estimated at 21 lakh MW (2100 GW), with the majority potential in:

    • Source	Estimated Potential (in GW)	% Share of Total Potential
      Solar Power	~748 GW	35.5%
      Wind Power	~1,024 GW	48.5%
      Small Hydro Power	~21 GW	1.0%
      Biomass Power	~28 GW	1.3%
      Bagasse Cogeneration	~10 GW	0.5%
      Waste-to-Energy	~5 GW	0.2%
      Offshore Wind	~70 GW	3.3%
      Others (Hybrid, etc.)	~203 GW	~9.6%
