India will require a threefold increase in its primary energy supply to nearly 35,000 TWh by 2047 in order to achieve its vision of becoming a developed economy, according to a new report by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and EY.
The report highlights the urgent need for a massive forty-fold scale-up of non-fossil energy sources, which would be crucial to meeting two-thirds of the projected energy demand sustainably.
The report, Eigenvectors of Net Zero Energy Transition: Pathways to Viksit Bharat 2047, frames India’s net-zero ambitions as a multidimensional challenge balancing energy security, affordability, competitiveness, and sustainability.
With a projected USD 30 trillion GDP and 1.5 billion population by 2047, the analysis underscores both the scale of the opportunity and the risks that must be managed.
India has already crossed a major milestone in its energy transition, achieving 50 per cent non-fossil power capacity in 2025, five years ahead of its 2030 target.
The EY-CII report outlines key challenges and requirements for India to achieve its goal of becoming a developed economy by 2047.
It projects that the country’s primary energy demand will rise sharply to around 35,000 TWh (approximately 3,000 Mtoe), necessitating a forty-fold increase in clean energy supply to meet two-thirds of this demand sustainably
