Handbook One harsh result of its meteoric growth is the widening gap Editorial Staff between required energy and that which is produced. Herein Ilies the problem. India is unable to keep up with demand and faces Scott G Schwieger Editorial Director growing pressure from the international community for climate [email protected] change mitigation. A concerted effort by the central and state Thomas F Armistead governments, and the growing importance of private sector access Senior Editor and investment, will drive India into the future.

Hydropower now accounts for about 25% of India’s generation capacity, down from 40% in 1980. The favorable economics of developing thermal generation coupled with difficulty in securing long-term financing presents a substantial roadblock for large-scale hydro development. Jaiprakash Associates ith 15% of the world’s The Government of India’s (GoI) the country off from cooperation and population and an economic Planning Commission predicts dramatic assistance in civil nuclear technology. growth rate that increases the demand increases for coal and oil over the In 2008, India and the Nuclear Suppliers’ aspiration of its people to better next 20 years.
