Abstract

India, with its young population and its per capita increasing energy demand becoming one of the fast growing power markets of the world from the last two decades. It is expected that the demand for electricity consumption in India is expected to rise to around 2280 billion kWh by 2021–22 and around 4500 billion kWh by 2031–32 with 9.8% annual growth. India energy requirement is heavily dependent on fossil fuel and unfortunately about 70% fossil fuel in India is  imported from other country. It places a big burden on the Indian economy apart from air pollution of the country. In this analysis, renewable energy resources appear to be the most competent among other sources and a useful solution for clean and sustainable energy development in India. India’s geographical location has several advantages for widespread use of most of these renewable energy sources. This article presents an evaluation of the prospective and operation of the renewable energy sources in India.
