India to Lead Global Fuel Demand Growth: IEA

The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that India will lead global growth in fuel demand in the coming years, driven by rapid economic expansion and rising population. Despite global efforts towards renewable energy, India's increasing industrialization and transportation needs are expected to propel its demand for traditional fuels.

India's economic growth trajectory, coupled with urbanisation and a burgeoning middle class, will significantly boost energy consumption across various sectors. The IEA report highlights that India's fuel demand growth is pivotal in shaping global energy markets, emphasizing the country's pivotal role in the energy landscape.

The projections underscore the importance of India's energy policies in balancing economic development with environmental sustainability. As the world's third-largest energy consumer, India's decisions on energy sources and infrastructure investments will influence global energy trends and emissions trajectories.

The IEA suggests that India's policy decisions will be crucial in determining its energy future, particularly in meeting climate goals while ensuring energy security and affordability. The country's approach to diversifying its energy mix and enhancing energy efficiency will be critical in managing fuel demand growth sustainably.

While renewable energy adoption is increasing in India, traditional fuels like oil and gas will continue to play a significant role in meeting the country's energy needs in the foreseeable future. The IEA's findings highlight the imperative for India to balance its energy transition with ensuring energy access and affordability for its growing population.

India's leadership in fuel demand growth signifies both challenges and opportunities in achieving a sustainable energy future, requiring strategic planning and robust policy frameworks to navigate effectively amidst global energy dynamics.

Handling the Bottom Line

In a highly competitive construction environment, efficient material handling is “the silent engine of profitability”, to quote Vaibhav Kulkarni, General Manager Projects, JP Infra Realty. “It’s not just about moving materials from A to B but developing a strategy to minimise touchpoints, reduce waste and maximise spends.”Planning stageBefore investing in material, Kulkarni recommends designing the material flow. “Map the journey of major materials from the delivery point to their final placement,” he recommends. While doing this, “minimise double-handling and identif..
