A strong energy demand trajectory typifies a robust economy. Being a fastest developing nation in the world, India’s energy demand trend clearly affirms that. Over the past 10 years (terminal year 2016), India’s energy demand has grown at a pace of 5.7% CAGR versus a world average of 1.7%. Looking further ahead, the demand is expected to intensify as the economy picks up steam. As per the IEA World Energy Outlook 2017, India’s primary energy consumption is set to rise from around 900 Mmtoe in 2016 to 1900 MMtoe in 2040 (3.2% CAGR) under the New Policies scenario. Despite the surge in demand for renewable over the longer term, evolution of the fuel mix still remains a gradual affair, with fossil fuels continuing to account for more than 85% (from over 90% currently) of the energy basket, as per BP Energy Outlook. ONGC and Oil India Ltd. are Navratna PSU companies and we are expecting good returns from here on.
