MoSPI Report: India’s Energy Intensity Improves to 0.2180 MJ/INR GDP in FY24

Current Context: The Energy Statistics India 2025 report, released by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation (MoSPI) on March 25, 2025, provides a detailed analysis of India's energy landscape.

• It highlights improvements in energy intensity, which measures energy required to generate one unit of GDP, showing a reduction to 0.2180 MJ/INR GDP in FY24 from 0.2192 MJ/INR GDP in FY23.
• This improvement reflects increased energy efficiency, particularly in the industrial sector, where energy use dropped from 361.5 MJ to 284.2 MJ.
• The report also includes data on India's energy reserves, production, and consumption, alongside import/export dependencies.
• New features like a chapter on Energy Accounts, based on the SEEA 2012 framework, and a Sankey Diagram for visualizing energy flow are included.
