Abstract
Balancing emissions and economic growth is central to India’s energy and climate policy. Energy productivity is a useful frame for energy policy planning. The present study investigates the factors driving it, particularly efficiency. The study also analyzes green energy productivity and its determinants. Using LMDI I decomposition, the study reveals that energy efficiency has been a major driver of energy consumption and intensity improvements from 2013 to 2023, with shifts in economic activity having minimal impact. However, the trends in energy productivity and green energy productivity differ, emphasizing the complexity of sustainable energy development.
