Energy statistics 2020

This publication, 27th in the series, is an annual publication of NSO and is a continued effort to provide
a comprehensive picture of Energy Sector in India. Energy Statistics is an integrated and updated database of
reserves, installed capacity, production, consumption, import, export and whole sale prices of different sources
viz. coal, crude oil, natural gas and electricity. Energy Balance and Sankey Diagram (Energy flow diagram)
adds analytic value and thus increases its utility.
Energy indicators are being brought out by NSO as part of Energy Statistics for the use of policy
makers as well as for comprehensive reporting. Indicators play a vital role by turning data into information for
policy makers and help in decision-making. Keeping in view the importance of Goal no 7 of Sustainable
Development Goal, one of the targets of Goal No. 7, “Double the global rate of improvement in energy
efficiency”, has been accounted for in the form of an indicator i.e. “Energy Intensity measured in terms of
primary energy and GDP”. Disaggregation of the indicator i.e. Energy Intensity at sectoral level i.e. Industry,
agriculture and transport is also available in the publication.
