India's energy needs are expected to jump four-fold in 25 years, but it faced problems ranging from depleting fuel reserves and uncertainty in policy framework, consulting firm KPMG said on Monday.

"With energy requirements expected to grow at five or six per cent per annum, there is an urgent need for India to strategically re-evaluate its supply options," Partha Bardhan, head of KPMG's energy practice in India, said.

India will also have to evolve a clear policy framework in energy sector for attracting $10 billion of private investment in the next five-six years to bridge the demand-supply gap, KPMG said.

The rethinking of India's energy policy would open up private investment opportunities. The country would need $9-10 billion of private investment in next five-six years alone to meet demand, KPMG said in its India Energy Outlook.

Energy Consumption by Source,
1999 (in thousand metric tons oil equivalent)
India:

Total Fossil Fuels 271,806
Coal and coal products 157,169
Crude oil and natural gas liquids 9,557
Natural gas 20,754
Nuclear 3,409
Hydroelectric 7,004
Renewables, excluding hydroelectric: 198,107
Primary solid biomass (includes fuelwood) 198,018
Biogas and liquid biomass 0
Geothermal 0.0
Solar 0.0
Wind 89.2
Tide, wave, and ocean 0.0

Clearly, India could move forward with the production of solar and wind.

Hope this helps,
Good luck!
