This report examines how the Government of India (GoI) has used subsidies to support different types of energy.
This report examines how the Government of India (GoI) has used subsidies to support different types of energy, updating two previous reviews of India’s energy subsidies—India’s Energy Transition 2017 and India’s Energy Transition, 2018 Update. The underlying data have been updated to FY 20191 and made easier to explore with an accompanying data portal.
Detailed descriptions of existing subsidies can be found in our previous publications, while descriptions of new subsidies are available on the IISD website. We seek to answer: How have India’s energy subsidy policies changed? What have been the most significant developments in India’s dynamic energy policy environment? And is public support aligned with India’s desired energy future?
