大多数关于印度能源部门的研究都集中在印度能源系统发展的可能未来情景上，而没有考虑到问题的管理层面——如何确保平稳过渡以达到预期的未来状态。本文的目的是强调一些部门管理关注的可持续能源的未来在该国。本文采用演绎法，从现有文献中回顾了目前的现状和未来可能的能源前景。其次是实现长期能源可持续性的战略大纲。最后提出了通往这种可持续未来的管理挑战。本文发现，除非实现能源与GDP增长的脱钩，否则成为经济强国的愿望和消除贫困的需要必然意味着能源消耗的增加。因此，这个国家的能源未来显然是不可持续的。这里提出了一项侧重于减少需求、增加获取、利用当地资源和改进管理做法的战略。然而，从管理和政策的角度来看，可持续发展的道路面临着许多挑战。
Most of the studies on the Indian energy sector focus on the possible future scenarios of Indian energy system development without considering the management dimension to the problem--how to ensure a smooth transition to reach the desired future state. The purpose of this paper is to highlight some sector management concerns to a sustainable energy future in the country. The paper follows a deductive approach and reviews the present status and possible future energy outlooks from the existing literature. This is followed by a strategy outline to achieve long-term energy sustainability. Management challenges on the way to such a sustainable future are finally presented. The paper finds that the aspiration of becoming an economic powerhouse and the need to eradicate poverty will necessarily mean an increase in energy consumption unless a decoupling of energy and GDP growth is achieved. Consequently, the energy future of the country is eminently unsustainable. A strategy focussing on demand reduction, enhanced access, use of local resources and better management practices is proposed here. However, a sustainable path faces a number of challenges from the management and policy perspectives.
