Abstract

Can growth in India be simultaneously made equitable and environmentally sustainable? The recent pattern of high growth in India has been unequal even as serious questions have been raised about its ecological sustainability. In contrast to that, this paper argues for an alternative growth trajectory which answers the question in the affirmative. We propose an Energy Policy with Equity (EPE), which fundamentally changes the energy mix of the Indian economy towards greener forms of energy as well as guarantees universal access to energy thus generated to the entire population.
