The Trends and Progress of Renewable and Non-renewable Energy Consumption in India

This study investigates the trends and progress of renewable and non-renewable energy consumption in India from 1980 to 2021. It analyses the energy consumption pattern using statistical methods, including Least Squares for both renewable and non-renewable energy data. The results show a clear increase in renewable energy use, reflecting government efforts and growing awareness. However, non-renewable energy still forms a large part of India's energy mix. The Least Squares method reveals long-term trends, highlighting a gradual shift toward cleaner sources. This study provides valuable insights for future energy planning and supports the transition to a more sustainable energy system in India.
