Further, the oil is principally an imported source-this places high strategic cost on this source. If I were to plan and give policy prescription I would first try to break the direct dependence on particular primary source of energy. Electrification of transport, reliable supply of electricity (thereby eliminating the need of diesel backups) would go a long way to meet same functional requirements using different sources of primary energy. India is investing heavily in to renewables, however, unless the end use is decoupled from a particular source of primary energy, the generated electricity would not make the needed impact.
