India ranked 71st in the World Economic Forum’s Energy Transition Index 2025, a drop from its 63rd position in 2024. This decline occurred despite India’s advances in clean energy access, energy efficiency, and regulatory frameworks. The Index evaluates 118 countries on energy security, sustainability, and equity, and India's lower score reflects persistent challenges like fuel dependency and grid reliability, especially in rural areas. However, the nation continues to invest in clean fuels and reduce energy intensity, positioning itself as a major player in the global energy shift. The drop underscores the complex balance between development and sustainability.
