The Indian economy uses a variety of energy sources, both commercial and
non-commercial. Fuel wood, animal waste and agricultural residue are
the traditional or `non-commercial' sources of energy that continue to
meet the bulk of the rural energy requirements even today. However, the
share of these fuels in the primary energy supply has declined from over
70% in the early 50's to a little over 30% as of today.The traditional
fuels are gradually getting replaced by the "commercial fuels" such as
coal, lignite, petroleum products, natural gas and electricity.
