Country Analysis Brief
  • India boasts a growing economy, and is increasingly a significant consumer of oil and natural gas.
  • Because India is a growing net importer of oil, the Indian government has held several licensing rounds in an effort to promote exploration activities and boost domestic oil production.
  • Despite major new natural gas discoveries in recent years, India is considering large-scale imports via pipelines and LNG terminals to help meet growing demand.
  • India currently suffers from a major shortage of electric generating capacity.
