In this era of modernization and globalization, the demand for energy sources is continuously rising. The study mainly focuses on the growing consumption of energy sources in India. The study covers the data from 1970 to 2018, which has been calculated from the energy statistics reports by the CSO government of India. The data revealed that the consumption of crude oil was 18.38 million tons, and it increased to 251.93 tonnes in 2017-18. The per capita consumption had also increased from 4,336 mega joules in 1970-71 to 23,355 mega joules in 2017-18. The data also revealed the percentage share energy consumption in different sectors of the economy from 1979-80 to 2017-18. So with the growing energy demand, supply constraints stay behind energy crises. To fulfill the energy demand, there is a need for a stable and long term policy that gives visibility and builds up investor confidence.
