Energy statistics harmonization advances with new methodologies for coal, biofuels, captive electricity and electric vehicle data gaps.
Strengthening India's energy statistics framework requires harmonized definitions, classifications, conversion factors and estimation methods across line ministries to improve consistency, comparability and international alignment.

The report further identified significant gaps in biofuel consumption data and in capturing electricity consumption through captive or off-grid modes and by electric vehicles. For these areas, it proposed initial methodological frameworks to be refined for incorporation into the energy-balance database.
