Energy is a key input to the production processes that transform inputs to goods and services contributing to Gross Domestic Product. Increase in GDP along with change in structure of the Indian economy resulted in a significant growth in energy consumption in last three decades and will grow in future also. Energy security and sustainability are interdependent because emissions from energy consumption contributes to climate change in greater extend globally. Energy Mix play vital role in energy security and India's energy mix shows dominance of fossil fuels Coal & Oil with only 6% Natural Gas. Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel which emits negligible particulate matters and lowest air pollutants as compare to Coal & Oil. Natural Gas is the fuel of future to achieve the India’s ambition of Gas based economy. Globally, Natural gas contributes around 24% in World energy mix as shown in Table-1 and Gujarat state in India have 25% natural gas share in energy mix. Hence, Indian government is also committed to increase the share of natural gas in country’s energy mix up to 15% by 2030 and Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas intervening with policy reforms in natural gas sector. Globally, natural gas is considered as transition fuel due to its availability, affordability, environment friendliness and ability to support renewable in pick demand time. For India, International market dynamics and country's energy policies are supporting Natural Gas to become fuel of choice in present scenario and address the energy security & climate change in the future. Energy Security is the at most important in line with international security of any country. As India is more depending on energy import from international market, hence there is geopolitics involved in international energy relations causing threat to national security.
