Existing energy sources in India and their usage plus the possibilities of reducing dependence on oil as an energy source have been examined by IDS. A assignment for the Asian Development Bank assessed the current status of energy conservation in selected sectors and made recommendations for more efficient use of energy. Identification of mini-micro hydel projects, feasibility studies on captive power plants, feasibility of using CNG as an alternate fuel and a study of the non-conventional sources of energy are part of the IDS experience in energy.
