Message
Energy is an important input for the socio-economic development of any country. Though India has 17% of the world population, its known oil and gas reserves are less than 1% of the global reserves. The Country imports about 80% of its requirement of petroleum products to meet the increasing demand, resulting in substantial outgo of foreign exchange. The need of the hour is therefore, to meet the energy demand in an efficient, reliable and sustainable manner while being sensitive to the concern for environmental protection.
Energy conservation and energy efficiency provide the best and practical solution for cutting down the Nation’s energy demand which also help in environment protection by reducing
CO2 emission. Energy efficiency investments in buildings, industry and transport usually have short pay-back periods and negative net abatement costs as the fuel cost savings over the lifetime of the capital stock often outweigh the additional capital cost of the efficiency measure, even when future savings are discounted.
Petroleum Conservation Research Association (PCRA) has been proactively working in the field of conservation and efficient use of petroleum products through its various R&D projects and Field Activities like Energy Audits, Driver Training Programmes, Technical Workshops and Seminars etc. PCRA had relaunched the mega media campaign in January 2010 to educate the people on energy conservation practices possible in their day to day life.
I am sure that the efforts of PCRA shall be useful in the cause of energy conservation for the nation.
(S. Sundareshan) Secretary, MOP&NG and Chairman, PCRA

Message
With the country’s rapid economic growth, the consumption of petroleum products is growing at a healthy rate of 4.6%. However, the growth in consumption of Petrol and Diesel at abnormally high rates of 12% and 10.6% respectively are neither sustainable nor desirable in the long run.
For a country that imports more than 75% of its petroleum requirement, fuel conservation assumes a critical dimension in the country’s energy security. A drop of fuel saved is a drop of fuel produced. A strong fuel conservation programme can help us make considerable savings in our oil import bill. It can also give the country some respite from the highly volatile international oil prices witnessed in recent years.
Fuel conservation and adoption of fuel efficiency practices are an important part of the country’s energy planning as well as for protecting the environment. PCRA, which was set up in 1978 has been conducting public awareness campaigns in this regard besides undertaking various programmes in the industrial, agriculture and transport sectors.
PCRA’s Annual Report for 2009-10 provides a comprehensive picture of the work undertaken by it in these important areas. I am sure this Report will be well received by different stakeholders.

Preface
India is emerging a major player in the Transport Sector which accounts for about 50% world economy and international energy market. of the country’s consumption of petroleum Due to rapid economic growth of the country, products, remained major area of focus for PCRA. India’s oil demand is increasing every year. During the year 2009-10, PCRA conducted 522 The country is however heavily dependent on Driver Training Programmes (DTPs) covering import of oil to meet its increasing demand of over 12000 drivers and 84 Model Depot Projects energy. There is, therefore imperative need for (MDP). In addition to DTPs and MDPs, PCRA efficient utilisation of existing energy resources also organised 469 nos. of one-day Transport and energy conservation in the various sectors Workshops. of the economy to bring down dependence on During the year, PCRA associated actively with oil imports. the Regional/National Industry bodies such For achieving the above objectives, PCRA as Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), GTZ- engineers in association with empanelled external CDM India, Federation of Indian Chambers expert agencies reach out to the target groups of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), Society with innovative and easy to implement energy of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), conservation programmes.
