Coal dominates the power blend in India, contributing to 55% of the entire number one power pro- 
duction. Over the years, there was a marked growth in the percentage of herbal fueloline in prima- ry  
power manufacturing from 10% in 1994 to 13% in 1999. There has been a decline in the percentage of  
oil in number one power manufacturing from 20% to 17% at some point of the equal period.

India has massive coal reserves, at the least 84,396 million tones of established recoverable reserves (at  
the quit of 2003). These quantities to nearly 8.6% of the arena reserves and it can closing for  
approximately 230 years on the modern Reserve to Production (R/P) ratio. In contrast, the arena`s established  
coal reserves are anticipated to closing simplest for 192 years on the modern R/P ratio. 
Reserves/Production (R/P) ratio- If the reserves last on the quit of the 12 months are divided  
through the manufacturing in that 12 months, the end result is the period of time that the last reserves would  
closing if manufacturing have been to maintain at that levelOil bills for approximately 36 % of India`s general strength intake. India these days is one in every of the  
pinnacle ten oil-guzzling countries withinside the global and could quickly overtake Korea because the 0.33 largest  
purchaser of oil in Asia after China and Japan. The country`s annual crude oil manufacturing is  
peaked at approximately 32 million tonne as towards the present day oil intake via way of means of stop of 2007  
is predicted to attain 136 million tonne(MT), of which home manufacturing will be  
handiest 34 MT. India will must pay an oil invoice of more or less $50 billion, assuming a weighted  
common fee of $50 in line with barrel of crude. In 2003-04, towards general export of $sixty four billion, oil  
imports accounted for $21 billion. India imports 70% of its crude desires specifically from gulf  
countries. The majority of India's more or less 5.four billion barrels in oil reserves are positioned withinside the  
Bombay High, higher Assam, Cambay, Krishna-Godavari. In phrases of zone sensible petroleum  
product intake, delivery bills for 42% observed via way of means of home and enterprise with 24%  
and 24% respectively. India spent extra than Rs.1,10,000 crore on oil imports on the stop of  
2004.

Natural fueloline bills for approximately 8.nine in line with cent of strength intake withinside the country.
