3.8 India’s Domestic Energy Balance in 2040
Energy security involves ensuring uninterrupted supply of energy to support the
household and commercial activities necessary for sustained economic growth.
Energy supply is obviously more difficult to ensure if there is large dependence
on imported energy. Overcoming the impediments in energy supply calls for action
in following areas:
1. Enhancing domestic production of hydro, gas and renewable energy by resolving
impediments including land availability, expediting impact assessment and requisite approvals for environment and forest and implementation of the Scheduled
Tribes and Other Traditional Forest Dwellers (Recognition of Forest Rights) Act,
2006.
2. One important reason for delay in obtaining approvals is the piecemeal approach
and pressure tactics used by the implementing agency. Such approaches at times
prove counterproductive and lead to delays. It is, therefore, vital that a 50-year
