India cannot survive forever with more than 80% dependence on foreign energy sources like crude oil and natural gas. India’s future growth depends on availability of cheap alternative fuels.

India should seek to achieve "energy independence" in 25 years to free itself from the need for costly fuel imports, President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam said yesterday. "By the year 2030, India should achieve energy independence through solar power and other forms of renewable energy, maximize the utilization of hydro and nuclear power and enhance bio-fuel production," Mr. Kalam said in a speech on the eve of the country's 59th Independence Day. India's demand for fuel is rising as an expanding economy boosts demand for power and spending by consumers on cars, motorcycles and trucks. The nation is Asia's third-biggest oil consumer after China and Japan.
