Abstract

Energy security has become a popular catch phrase, both in scientific arena as well as in the political discussion. Yet, in general the applied concepts of energy security are rather vague. This paper sheds some light on concepts of energy security in an Indian perspective. First, we conceptually discuss the issue of energy security. Then by providing brief survey of existing attempts to define & thus measure energy security. We have then suggested the way forward for strengthening the energy security, by analyzing the various concerns. Our conclusion suggests that it is worthwhile to take into consideration the market structure along with the political stability.
