Draft National Energy Policy
…responsibility for energy policy is spread across different Ministries that hold the primary responsibility of setting their own sectoral agenda, an overarching policy framework is required to achieve the goal of energy security and facilitate coordination between these sources. This is also expected to mainstream emerging energy technologies, and provide consumer energy choices. The NEP builds on the achievements of the earlier overarching policy framework -the Integrated Energy Policy (IEP), and sets the new agenda consistent with the redefined role of emerging developments in the energy world. There are four key objectives to India's broad arching energy policy under…

Chapter 5 presents the energy saving investment potential for various demand sectors in India by
the year 2031. The chapter also explores current EE financing landscape across the world and
suggests best suited schemes for Indian EE market.
Chapter 6 assesses India’s NDC target emissions in absolute terms, calculates the achieved
emission intensity reduction targets by 2030 and estimates the potential contribution of energy
efficiency in emissions intensity reduction. It also provides a commentary on global progress made in
achieving emission reduction commitments.
