economy boosts output in manufacturing, textiles and other small enterprises.<br />

The share of the residential sector in final energy demand declines to<br />

25% in the High Growth Scenario, down from 44% in 2005. This dramatic<br />

decline is due to structural changes in the economy and changes in the fuel<br />

mix. There is a much faster penetration of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and<br />

electricity, and a decline in the use of fuelwood and dung (see below).<br />

Implications for <strong>Energy</strong> Markets and Supply Security<br />

Coal<br />

Coal demand is 13% higher in 2030 in the High Growth Scenario, compared<br />

to the Reference Scenario. Domestic coal production provides about two-thirds<br />

of the additional demand for power generation, rising to 717 Mtce compared<br />

with 637 Mtce in the Reference Scenario, a rise in output of 4.1% per year in<br />

2005-2030 in the High Growth Scenario, compared with 3.6% in the<br />

Reference Scenario (Figure 19.4). The logistical and economic challenges of<br />

achieving this increase in production are more pronounced than in<br />

the Reference Scenario (see Chapter 17). The negative environmental<br />

consequences would also increase, on the assumption of unchanged<br />

government policies. Hard-coal imports are 39 Mtce, or 16%, higher in the<br />

High Growth Scenario in 2030. India’s dependence on imported coal is 28%<br />

in 2030 in the High Growth Scenario as well as in the Reference Scenario. But<br />

the import bill rises faster than import growth as the growing world demand<br />

puts additional pressure on international coal prices.<br />
