Assessing the accuracy and adequacy of India's national energy balances: Implications for tracking sustainable development and climate goals

Given the importance of the energy balance, MOSPI began publishing energy commodity balance in the 2010 edition and energy balance in standard energy units in the 2012 edition (MOSPI 2010, 2012). [...] Given the importance of the energy balance table, MOSPI began publishing energy commodity balance in the 2010 edition and energy balance in standard energy unit in the 2012 edition. [...] Energy supply The primary energy supply in the top block of the energy balance is calculated as energy production plus energy imports, minus energy exports, minus international bunkers, and then plus or minus stock changes. [...] The intensity of economic production sectors such as agriculture and industry is the ratio of energy used in the sector and the value added by the industry. [...] The difference in the estimates of energy from coal distorts the estimates of the share of different energy sources in the fuel mix.
