India Energy - Strategic Consulting & Market Analysis
The Indian Tiger Has Just Begun to Roar

India is the fifth largest consumer of energy in the world, and it is projected to surpass Japan and Russia to become the world�s third biggest energy consumer by 2030. At the same time, the country is facing an acute energy scarcity which is hampering its industrial growth and economic progress. India is trying to tackling the energy crisis through a judicious utilization of renewable energy resources, such as biomass energy, solar energy, wind energy and geothermal energy.
India has seen a 12% increase in investment in the renewable energy sector with an investment of $3.7 billion in 2008. That's an impressive investment indeed in absolute terms, though a 12% increase does scant justice to the big needs the country has from renewable energy. It is expected that this growth rate will be much higher in future.

Clearly, investment in renewable energy is on the rise. To meet its future energy needs, India will have to invest over $800 billion by 2030, estimates the International Energy Agency. Some estimates put the required levels of investment even higher. With an increasingly favorable regulatory and policy environment along with a growing number of entrepreneurs and project developers, India ranked as the third most attractive country to invest in renewable energy, after the U.S. and Germany, in the 2008 Ernst and Young Country Attractiveness Indices.
This is an opportune time for businesses small and large to invest in the alternative energy industry in India. Investing now will enable you to get in early into this emerging industry and dramatically increase your chances of business leadership.
