Abstract
In the first three chapters of this study, the relationship between energy consumption and national income was described, the potential energy resources available to India were evaluated, and the past history of energy resource development in the five year plans was reviewed. In Chapters 4, 5, and 6, we analyzed current and potential future energy supply policies for oil and natural gas, power (including hydropower, coal, and nuclear based generation), and biogas and solar energy sources. In this chapter we bring together the results of this research to provide a comprehensive review of energy supply policy in India. Conclusions from the chapters on individual energy sectors are first summarized and then integrated to illuminate the relationships among energy sectors. Environmental effects of energy resource development in India are briefly reviewed. Finally, policy alternatives for energy resource development in India are examined.
