Report summary

Policy decisions, particularly in an election year, and commodity prices will yet again dictate what happens in India's energy sector. Domestic supply concerns persisted in 2018 and reliance on imports continued. In addition, 2018 saw increased pressure on the government to tackle air pollution. As a result, there is a tough balancing act required to manage expectations without jeopardising economic growth and the elections, or both.
