Coal accounts for 41% of industrial energy demand in 2030, up from 30% in<br />

2005. Electricity’s share rises from 18% to 31% mainly because of an<br />

expansion of lighter manufacturing production as well as to increased<br />

penetration of large-scale, more efficient electric arc furnace technology in the<br />

iron and steel industry. The share of natural gas falls from 5% to 4%, although<br />

demand increases in absolute terms along with increased availability of gas<br />

supplies. 4<br />

The efficiency of many processes in the Indian cement and steel industries has<br />

improved over the past 15 years, helping to lower the country’s overall energy<br />

intensity. In contrast, electricity intensity in industry as a whole, which fell in<br />

the early 1990s, began to rise towards the end of the decade. Much of Indian<br />

industrial output is derived from small-scale, often village-based, enterprises,<br />

fuelled by inefficient motors and equipment, where it has been difficult to<br />

implement efficiency improvements. There is enormous scope to improve<br />

efficiency. 5<br />

4. Demand for gas as a petrochemical feedstock (not included in industrial demand) also increases in absolute<br />

terms. In previous editions of the <strong>Outlook</strong>, petrochemical feedstocks were included in energy use in the industry<br />

sector. They are now included in non-energy use.<br />

5. The impact of government policies to enhance industrial energy efficiency is discussed in Chapter 18.<br />
