Abstract

This article analyses energy consumption in India. It explains the dynamics of the changes in energy flow by studying four different time periods between 1953 and 1976. Unlike earlier studies, which concentrated only on commercial fuels, this study attempts to develop an integrated source‐sector flow model comprising both commercial and non‐commercial fuels. The patterns of change in the energy flow are used to derive major macro‐economic energy linkages for the country. The article also examines the relationship between energy consumption, economic growth and investment. Cet article analyse la consommation énergétique en Inde. Il étudie la dynamique des variations du flux d'énergie pendant quatre périodes différentes comprises entre 1953 et 1976. Contrairement à des études précédentes qui ne se sont occupées que des produits pétroliers commerciaux, cette étude tente de construire un modèle integrant la source d'énergie et le secteur de consommation à la fois des produits pétroliers commerciaux et non‐commerciaux. Les variations du flux d'énergie sont utilisées pour mettre en évidence les principales relations macroéconomiques du secteur énergétique du pays. De plus, l'article étudie les rapports existant entre la consommation énergétique, la croissance économique et l'investissement. Este artículo analiza el consumo de energía en la India y explica la dinámica de los cambios en los flujos de energía al estudiar cuatro périodes diferentes entre 1953 y 1976. A diferencia de estudios anteriores que se concentran en combustibles comerciales, este estudio trata de desarrollar un modelo integrado que incluye combustibles comerciales y no comerciales. Las tendencias de los cambios en los flujos energéticos son usados para derivar las principales interrelaciones macroeconómicas en el país. El artículo examine también la relación entre consumo de energía, crecimiento económico e inversión.
