India's role in the global energy system is expected to grow considerably, with its energy demand projected to exceed that of the United States in the 2040s and surpass China in the 2060s, PTI reported, citing a new India-focused scenarios sketch released by Shell India. The analysis also indicates that the share of fossil fuels in India's energy mix is expected to peak this decade. However, even as their proportion declines afterwards, total consumption could still increase if global energy demand doubles over the next two to three decades. Titled 'India's energy transition in a security-focused age', the report presents three potential futures influenced by geopolitics, digitalization, and climate needs: Archipelagos, Surge, and Horizon.
