How energy-efficient is India?
India has scored highest for the energy efficiency in its transportation sector. Despite having any fuel economy standards for passenger vehicles, it ranks third in passenger-vehicle fuel economy. The country also has far lower number of passenger miles travelled per capita than any other country analysed.
However, India’s national efforts on energy efficiency need a major improvement with operational efficiency of thermal power plants being the lowest of any country analysed. It needs to increase the level of government and utility investment in energy efficiency. The country could also focus on making energy codes mandatory for new residential and commercial buildings
In general, most countries did not score as well in transportation as they did in industry, with many countries’ transportation systems reflecting heavier investments in roads than in public transit. The report called out Italy and Japan for practices that include stringent fuel economy requirements for new cars (in Italy’s case, part of a broader European Union initiative) and investments in public transit.
