With the world population nearly doubling in the past three decades, the present surge in electricity demand, and the projected increase of the global population, the importance of available energy cannot be underestimated.

In India, the burning of coal accounts for approximately one half of all electricity generation, nuclear energy approximately one fourth of all electricity generation, and hydro, and gas roughly ten percent of the total electricity generation. Globally, India is presently positioned as the eleventh largest manufacturer of energy, representing roughly 2.4% of the overall energy output per annum.

Usually energy, especially electricity, has a major contribution in speeding up the economic development of the country. The existing production of per capita electricity in India is around 600 kWh per annum. Ever since 1990s, India’s gross domestic product (GDP) has been increasing very rapidly and it is estimated that it will maintain the pace in the next couple of decades. The rise in GDP should be followed by an increase in the expenditure of key energy other than electricity.

The Report on the Indian Power Sector draws attention the following matters:

• The aggressive market scenario of the Indian Power Industry.
• The significance of the role of the private players and foreign investments in the Power sector.
• Impact of the political condition, collaborations with private participants, new strategies and reforms in regulating the Oil & Gas sector in India.
• Significance of renewable sources of energy for Power Generation.
• The different prospects and difficulties faced by the Power Industry.

Growing concern about pollution and global warming has led many individuals and nations to consider the nuclear industry as an excellent alternative for future power generation. Technological advancements and increased public awareness concerning nuclear power are critical to the success of the nuclear industry. Investments made by the nuclear industry in both technology and education will likely be seen in the near future. The future power reforms will be in the field of nuclear energy.

True rakesh but at the same time thermal power stations is adding more problem in India, where poor quality of coal is used, add to environmental degradation problems through gaseous emissions, particulate matter, fly ash and bottom ash. Ash content being in abundance in Indian coal, problem of fly ash and bottom ash disposal increase day by day and causes many hazardous diseases like Asthma, Tuberculosis etc...

Hi Deepak, I feel the deal for nuclear with USA is good for India as we are growing rapidly. This economic growth is feeding a voracious appetite for electricity that India's bankrupt utilities are unable to satisfy. Blackouts are commonplace. SO India must approach the initiative as a larger opening of the global community to its energy needs in areas like satellite launches, precision engineering, high-end sourcing and defense production. Would be interested to know your views...
