Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the development of energy security within the context of India's national security framework. More specifically, the research targets the incorporation of energy considerations into policy, technical developments, and international engagements. Through the utilization of secondary data sources, such as government papers, academic journals, and strategy documents, the research recounts India's progression from a reliance on conventional energy sources to a portfolio of energy sources that is both varied and sustainable. The most important findings emphasize a gradual move toward renewable energy sources, which is being pushed by the desire to improve energy independence and solve environmental concerns. The dedication of India to the development of sustainable energy is demonstrated by strategic initiatives such as the National Solar Mission and worldwide cooperation through venues such as the worldwide Solar Alliance. On the other hand, difficulties continue to exist, notably with regard to geopolitical dependence and the continuing requirement for innovation in order to guarantee energy resiliency. In the future, research might investigate the socio-economic effects of the adoption of renewable energy sources, the implications of developing technologies, and methods for navigating energy transitions in a manner that is congruent with the objectives of national security stakeholders. Among the policy concerns are investments in infrastructure for renewable energy, the development of technologies, and international cooperation for the purpose of diversifying energy sources and mitigating geopolitical risks. The findings of this study, taken as a whole, highlight the significance of continuous research and policy actions in order to handle new issues and capture opportunities in India's changing energy landscape.
