In 2023, the total support on all fossil fuels for general services in India was $312.35 million in constant 2020 dollars. Forecasts indicate a slight annual increase in support from 2024 to 2028, with values predicted to rise steadily from $318.61 million in 2024 to $341.39 million by 2028. The year-on-year growth rate reflects an average annual increase of approximately 1.6% from 2023 to 2025, signifying a modest escalation in support for fossil fuels over this period.
Notably, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is projected to slightly increase at approximately 1.7%, suggesting a gradual enhancement in support for fossil fuels across this five-year span.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Government policy changes regarding fossil fuel subsidies that could alter support levels significantly.
- Global oil prices and their impact on India's energy strategy and budget allocations.
- The pace of renewable energy adoption, which may influence fossil fuel support dynamics.
