The transport sector currently consumes 27% of total primary oil demand in<br />

India and this will increase to 47% by 2030. Oil contributes 95% of the total<br />

increase in transport energy use between 2005 and 2030 and, unsurprisingly,<br />

the lion’s share of transport energy demand in 2030 is met by oil. Natural gas<br />

for CNG vehicles, electricity and biofuels make up the rest. Road vehicles<br />

account for 86% of total transport energy demand in 2030, aviation (which<br />

sees continued strong growth) for 9% and railways (which see slower growth<br />

than other sectors) for most of the rest (Figure 16.4). These shares remain fairly<br />

constant over the <strong>Outlook</strong> period, as does the proportionate demand for each<br />

transport fuel and mode.<br />

Road Transport<br />

The number of vehicles on the road is the principal determinant of fuel demand<br />

for transport. The total vehicle stock in India increased from 19 million in 1990<br />

to 68 million in 2004. 7 We project it to reach 295 million by 2030, overtaking<br />

that of the United States soon after 2025. Annual sales of new light-duty vehicles<br />

(LDVs), which reached 1.2 million in 2005, are projected to soar to 13.3 million<br />
