India energy: 2020 in review and what to look for in 2021
Report summary
The coronavirus pandemic caused India’s energy demand to fall for the first time in 20 years. We estimate a 2.5% year-on-year decline for 2020; however, the impact was not uniform across sectors. It was the worst year for oil’s demand growth in 50 years, but natural gas and renewables witnessed growth. The pace of recovery will vary by commodity. All eyes will be on the speed at which vaccination takes place. This and stimulus measure will dictate how quickly India reach pre-coronavirus consumption levels.
