India’s fossil fuel dependence evolved into broader energy security risk: CEEW study

A recent study by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) highlights that India's reliance on fossil fuels has expanded into a significant energy security risk. The report underscores the vulnerability of the steel sector due to its heavy dependence on imported coking coal, particularly from Australia, which could be jeopardized by geopolitical tensions. This issue matters because energy security is crucial for India's economic stability and growth, especially as the country transitions towards sustainable energy sources. The findings suggest that diversifying energy imports and investing in alternative energy could mitigate these risks in the future.
