MoSPI releases Expert Committee report on Energy Statistics

The Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation released the report of the Expert Committee on Energy Statistics. The report focuses on harmonising India’s energy database and improving methodologies for biofuels, captive power and EV electricity consumption.

The report is significant because energy statistics are essential for policy planning, economic analysis and sustainable development measurement. MoSPI said implementation would require close coordination with multiple energy-related ministries and stakeholders. It also highlighted the need to fill demand-side and supply-side data gaps for better national energy accounting. For aspirants, this is useful in economy, energy governance and official statistical systems.
