1. Introduction
Agriculture supports 54% of the population, as against about 75% at the time of independence. The
agriculture sector employs nearly half of the workforce in the country. However, it contributes to
17 % of the GDP. India’s production of food grains has been increasing every year. India is among
the top producers of several crops such as wheat, rice, pulses, sugarcane and cotton. It is the highest
producer of milk and second highest producer of fruits and vegetables. In 2019-20, Government of
India is targeting food grain production of 291 million tons.
Indian agriculture has come a long way since independence. There has been several policy
statements designed for agriculture sector during the past few years to take India towards self-
sufficiency in food grains. Recently ever highest record food grain production (285 million tonnes)
and horticulture crops (315 million tonnes) have been achieved during 2017-18. However, demand
for the products from the agricultural sector is rising rapidly with the increase in population and per
capita income and growing demand from the secondary (manufacturing) sector.
Given the importance of agriculture sector, Government of India took several steps for its
sustainable development. Steps have been taken to improve soil fertility on a sustainable basis
through the soil health card scheme, to provide improved access to irrigation and enhanced water
efficiency through Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY), and use of machinery in
agriculture for improving efficiency through Submission on Agriculture Machines and to support
for creation of a unified national agriculture market to boost the income of farmers. Further, to
mitigate risk in agriculture sector a new scheme “Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) has
been launched in 2016.
1.1 Energy Data Management in Agriculture Sector
Agricultural sector requires energy as it is an important input to production. Agriculture uses energy
directly as fuel or electricity to operate machinery and equipment, in irrigation such as use of fuel
in running the tractors and other machinery, and for lighting on the farm, and indirectly in the
fertilizers and chemicals produced off the farm. Modern agriculture needs modern energy - the two
are closely linked. For many developing and under developed countries, agriculture is the dominant
sector which contributes to the development of the economy. Increase in productivity and the
modernization of agricultural production systems are the primary drivers of global poverty reduction
and energy plays a key role in achieving this. Energy input to modern and sustainable agricultural
production and processing systems is a key factor in moving beyond subsistence farming towards
food security. Energy services neatly support the production process, e.g. by providing irrigation
(pumps) or machinery in agriculture.
Energy use in agriculture has been increasing since Green Revolution with increasing use of diesel
and electricity in farm operations. Fossil energy for mechanized agriculture has been an important
driver of the "Green Revolution" of increasing farm productivity. Today, three energy inputs (diesel,
fuel and electricity) account for more than three-quarters of farm energy use. Renewable energy can
address many concerns related to fossil energy use. Ever increasing demand of energy has posed
pressure on limited resources and has necessitated optimum use of resources. Therefore, there is a
need for integrated and updated database on demand/supply of energy in agriculture sector for
energy balance.

1.2 Current Status of Energy Data of Agriculture Sector
Directorate of Economics and Statistics is an attached office of the Department of Agriculture,
Cooperation & Farmers Welfare (DAC&FW). Its mandate is to collect, compile and disseminate
economic and statistical data relating to agriculture and provide analytical inputs to the Department
of Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmers Welfare for the formulation of better agricultural and
economic development policies. Its mission is to provide important information on agricultural
economics & statistics like area, production and yield of principal crops, minimum support prices
(MSPs), monitor whole sale prices of agricultural commodities, implement schemes related to
improvement of agricultural statistics, and carrying out agro-economic research studies. The
main objectives of the Directorate are generation and dissemination of agricultural statistics,
research and analysis. The Directorate provides inputs to DAC&FW, CACP and generates a large
body of literature on agricultural economics and statistical information and make it available in the
public domain for the use of all stakeholders.
Energy input to modern and sustainable agricultural production and processing systems is a key
factor in moving beyond subsistence farming. But it was noted that there is non-availability of basic
data for making further calculations on energy requirement as the engaged organizations (mentioned
below) do not collect energy consumption data for agriculture sector.

2. Working group on Demand Side Energy Data Management
To find out the data gaps in energy sector, a Working Group on Energy Demand (Consumption)
side was constituted by NITI Aayog for energy data management on 16
th
May,2018 (the Order
constituting the Working Group is given at Annexure-I). A similar Working Group was
constituted by NITI Aayog on 16
th
May, 2018 for covering the Supply Side under energy Data
Management.
The first meeting of the Demand Side Working Group was held on 4
th
June, 2018.The Minutes of
Meeting (MoM) of the same is given at Annexure-II. It was seen that there are some gaps in the
demand side data in the Agriculture sector, Industry sector, Buildings sector and Transport sector
such as lack of data on fuel consumption in pump sets, solar pump data, MSME data, etc. After
detailed discussions, the Working Group decided to form sub-groups on four major energy
consuming sectors such as Agriculture sector, Industry sector, Buildings sector and Transport
sector.
All the sub- groups were to identify the data being collected by different agencies currently in
India and the mode& frequency of such collection. The sub-groups would then deliberate to
explore if the frequency of data collection needs to be changed and if better mode can be suggested
keeping in view the cost and quality of data.
For the data gaps which are identified, it was to be explored how this is being collected in other
countries, and what would be the best method to collect in India. In this context, the current
statutory provisions available in the Collection of Statistics Act, Energy efficiency Act and various
other statutory instruments may be explored. The sub group, for the purpose of data collection,
was to keep in mind the data pertaining to efficiency and cost.
3. Sub-group on Agriculture Sector for Demand Side Energy Data Management
Based on working group decision, a sub-group on Demand Side Energy Data Management in
the Agriculture Sector was subsequently constituted for Energy Data Management vide NITI
Aayog letter dated 13.06.2018 including officials from Ministry of Agriculture, TERI, BEE,
CEA, Prayas Energy Group, Indian Council of Agricultural Research, MoSPI and PPAC as
members of the sub-group. The order constituting the sub-group and the detailed Terms of

th
and final meeting was held
on 2
nd
August, 2019, wherein the sub-group has accepted the report.
After detailed discussions and deliberations during the five meetings, following data gaps were
identified and accordingly data formats were developed to bridge the gaps:
4. Data Gaps & Formats
The sub-group on Agriculture sector data management was given the task to assess availability of
energy consumption and demand data, frequency & source of the data collection and hence identify
the gaps in the existing system and therefore update them for making agriculture sector energy
consumption information available to public, private, think-tank for policy formulation, research
etc, on public domain.
Agricultural practises use energy primarily in form of petroleum-based fuels or electricity to
operate machinery for preparing fields, planting and harvesting crops, applying chemicals and to
power crop dryers and irrigation equipment.
For this purpose, the sub-group identified two major areas i.e. Irrigation and Machinery for
energy demand assessment. The data formats have been created in form of a Master Table that
reflects the overall energy consumptions from Irrigation and Machinery. The irrigation and
Machinery table has further been broken down into sub-tables. Machinery tables includes energy
consumption in Tractors, Power Tillers, Combine Harvesters and other equipment like weeders,
sprayers etc. and Irrigation tables includes Canal lift, Tubewells, ponds/wells, micro-irrigation and
other sources. The identified types of fuels used in the agriculture sector along with the units are
as follows:
Oil (million litres): Diesel, LDO, Furnace Oil and others
Natural Gas (mmscmd)
Electricity (kWh): Grid Connected, Renewables (Solar,)
The final energy consumption is to be calculated in kTOE, (1 kWh = 0.085 kTOE, 1million litter
= 2.4 kToE) after uniform conversion of respective resources. The master table is provided below
along with the detailed formats for sub-tables as identified by the group.

4.2 Data Collection Methodology
The sub-group enquired about availability of data from MoSPI, Ministry of Agriculture and other
sources and found that energy data related to agriculture sector is not documented anywhere.
Therefore, sub-group adopted projection & survey based approach for collating the data in order
to bridge the existing gaps.
Survey of the Data: Sub-group identified the data to be collected through survey, its frequency
and agency to conduct survey.
Projection of the Data: Based on the survey conducted, the projection of the required data is
proposed to be done by using linear equations which has been explained along with each table.
4.3 Machinery related Energy Data Format
The complete energy consumption through various units for the purpose of machinery has been
discussed through tables with detailed components as follows along with calculation factors:

Table 4.3: Energy requirement for Machinery in Agriculture (Master Table: Machinery)
The total area tilled for cultivating purpose is to be segregated based on the use of tractors and
power tillers and respective areas are to be used for the calculations. The detailed composition of
the above table is given in the tables for sub-components below:
(a) Tractors: The use of tractors in this report includes agricultural activity along with
transportation activity. Therefore the committee recommended that the calculations should be
based on the season-wise (Rabi and Kharif) areas ploughed for the cultivation for different crops
based upon the total hours and number of operations carried out in each cycle crop wise.

5. Recommendations by the sub-group
Based on discussions during the meetings and inputs from the Group of MoSPI, Ministry of
Agriculture & Farmer Welfare, BEE, CEA and PPAC the following recommendations are
made by the sub Group on Demand Side Energy Data Management in Agriculture Sector:
i. Sub-group has tried to calculate energy demand for agriculture sector. However, the
projections are not complete because lack of availability of granular data as required in
the prescribed formula. Therefore, sub-group adopted projection and survey based
approached for collecting the data in order to bridge the gap as explained in para 4.3 &
4.4 and its related table in the main report.
ii. 90% energy data related to agriculture sector is not documented in the central & state
ministries/departments, therefore, sub-group recommends survey to collect the required
data as mentioned in the para 4.3 & 4.4 and it related table in the main report. It is
recommended that survey should be carried out by Ministry of Agriculture & Farmer
Welfare. The data collected from the first survey would be used for period of 5 years.
iii. The frequency of the survey can be increased and Ministry of Agriculture & Farmer
Welfare may try to make it an annual practice once the base line platform for the data
has been establish.
iv. Ministry of Agriculture & Farmer Welfare (MoA&FW) should establish a data cell
which may subsequently establish data cells in each state’s agriculture department. The
state’s data should finally be integrated in the data cell establish Ministry of Agriculture
& Farmer Welfare. The data format created by the sub-group may be converted for state
level and further it may be converted to district level, block level as per the requirement.
v. A National Agriculture Energy Consumption Portal should be made which can
published data in spreadsheet format and this should be extended to include all daily,
monthly and annual reports published by MoA&FW and other sources. Annual
publications of MoA&FW that are currently only available in printed format should be
published in electronic (pdf) format, along with the data being made available in
spreadsheet format.
vi. All data that is published should be available in easy-to-process formats such as
spreadsheets and APIs should be provided to access this data. In this regard, the
guidelines provided under the National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy (NDSAP)
may be followed.
6. Conclusion
It is first time that a sub-group is working on collection and compilation of the Energy data related
of agriculture sector. The importance of energy data of agriculture sector is immense and it may
be used for better planning for shifting from fossil fuel based energy to clean & green energy in
the sector. The work done by sub-group is the base work in this direction and it may further be
enhanced as per availability of the data and requirement of the sector.

1. Introduction
Agriculture supports 54% of the population, as against about 75% at the time of independence. The
agriculture sector employs nearly half of the workforce in the country. However, it contributes to
17 % of the GDP. India’s production of food grains has been increasing every year. India is among
the top producers of several crops such as wheat, rice, pulses, sugarcane and cotton. It is the highest
producer of milk and second highest producer of fruits and vegetables. In 2019-20, Government of
India is targeting food grain production of 291 million tons.
Indian agriculture has come a long way since independence. There has been several policy
statements designed for agriculture sector during the past few years to take India towards self-
sufficiency in food grains. Recently ever highest record food grain production (285 million tonnes)
and horticulture crops (315 million tonnes) have been achieved during 2017-18. However, demand
for the products from the agricultural sector is rising rapidly with the increase in population and per
capita income and growing demand from the secondary (manufacturing) sector.
Given the importance of agriculture sector, Government of India took several steps for its
sustainable development. Steps have been taken to improve soil fertility on a sustainable basis
through the soil health card scheme, to provide improved access to irrigation and enhanced water
efficiency through Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY), and use of machinery in
agriculture for improving efficiency through Submission on Agriculture Machines and to support
for creation of a unified national agriculture market to boost the income of farmers. Further, to
mitigate risk in agriculture sector a new scheme “Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (PMFBY) has
been launched in 2016.
1.1 Energy Data Management in Agriculture Sector
Agricultural sector requires energy as it is an important input to production. Agriculture uses energy
directly as fuel or electricity to operate machinery and equipment, in irrigation such as use of fuel
in running the tractors and other machinery, and for lighting on the farm, and indirectly in the
fertilizers and chemicals produced off the farm. Modern agriculture needs modern energy - the two
are closely linked. For many developing and under developed countries, agriculture is the dominant
sector which contributes to the development of the economy. Increase in productivity and the
modernization of agricultural production systems are the primary drivers of global poverty reduction
and energy plays a key role in achieving this. Energy input to modern and sustainable agricultural
production and processing systems is a key factor in moving beyond subsistence farming towards
food security. Energy services neatly support the production process, e.g. by providing irrigation
(pumps) or machinery in agriculture.
Energy use in agriculture has been increasing since Green Revolution with increasing use of diesel
and electricity in farm operations. Fossil energy for mechanized agriculture has been an important
driver of the "Green Revolution" of increasing farm productivity. Today, three energy inputs (diesel,
fuel and electricity) account for more than three-quarters of farm energy use. Renewable energy can
address many concerns related to fossil energy use. Ever increasing demand of energy has posed
pressure on limited resources and has necessitated optimum use of resources. Therefore, there is a
need for integrated and updated database on demand/supply of energy in agriculture sector for
energy balance.

1.2 Current Status of Energy Data of Agriculture Sector
Directorate of Economics and Statistics is an attached office of the Department of Agriculture,
Cooperation & Farmers Welfare (DAC&FW). Its mandate is to collect, compile and disseminate
economic and statistical data relating to agriculture and provide analytical inputs to the Department
of Agriculture, Cooperation & Farmers Welfare for the formulation of better agricultural and
economic development policies. Its mission is to provide important information on agricultural
economics & statistics like area, production and yield of principal crops, minimum support prices
(MSPs), monitor whole sale prices of agricultural commodities, implement schemes related to
improvement of agricultural statistics, and carrying out agro-economic research studies. The
main objectives of the Directorate are generation and dissemination of agricultural statistics,
research and analysis. The Directorate provides inputs to DAC&FW, CACP and generates a large
body of literature on agricultural economics and statistical information and make it available in the
public domain for the use of all stakeholders.
Energy input to modern and sustainable agricultural production and processing systems is a key
factor in moving beyond subsistence farming. But it was noted that there is non-availability of basic
data for making further calculations on energy requirement as the engaged organizations (mentioned
below) do not collect energy consumption data for agriculture sector.

2. Working group on Demand Side Energy Data Management
To find out the data gaps in energy sector, a Working Group on Energy Demand (Consumption)
side was constituted by NITI Aayog for energy data management on 16
th
May,2018 (the Order
constituting the Working Group is given at Annexure-I). A similar Working Group was
constituted by NITI Aayog on 16
th
May, 2018 for covering the Supply Side under energy Data
Management.
The first meeting of the Demand Side Working Group was held on 4
th
June, 2018.The Minutes of
Meeting (MoM) of the same is given at Annexure-II. It was seen that there are some gaps in the
demand side data in the Agriculture sector, Industry sector, Buildings sector and Transport sector
such as lack of data on fuel consumption in pump sets, solar pump data, MSME data, etc. After
detailed discussions, the Working Group decided to form sub-groups on four major energy
consuming sectors such as Agriculture sector, Industry sector, Buildings sector and Transport
sector.
All the sub- groups were to identify the data being collected by different agencies currently in
India and the mode& frequency of such collection. The sub-groups would then deliberate to
explore if the frequency of data collection needs to be changed and if better mode can be suggested
keeping in view the cost and quality of data.
For the data gaps which are identified, it was to be explored how this is being collected in other
countries, and what would be the best method to collect in India. In this context, the current
statutory provisions available in the Collection of Statistics Act, Energy efficiency Act and various
other statutory instruments may be explored. The sub group, for the purpose of data collection,
was to keep in mind the data pertaining to efficiency and cost.
3. Sub-group on Agriculture Sector for Demand Side Energy Data Management
Based on working group decision, a sub-group on Demand Side Energy Data Management in
the Agriculture Sector was subsequently constituted for Energy Data Management vide NITI
Aayog letter dated 13.06.2018 including officials from Ministry of Agriculture, TERI, BEE,
CEA, Prayas Energy Group, Indian Council of Agricultural Research, MoSPI and PPAC as
members of the sub-group. The order constituting the sub-group and the detailed Terms of

Aayog the minutes of the meeting are given at Annexure-IX. The 7
th
and final meeting was held
on 2
nd
August, 2019, wherein the sub-group has accepted the report.
After detailed discussions and deliberations during the five meetings, following data gaps were
identified and accordingly data formats were developed to bridge the gaps:
4. Data Gaps & Formats
The sub-group on Agriculture sector data management was given the task to assess availability of
energy consumption and demand data, frequency & source of the data collection and hence identify
the gaps in the existing system and therefore update them for making agriculture sector energy
consumption information available to public, private, think-tank for policy formulation, research
etc, on public domain.
Agricultural practises use energy primarily in form of petroleum-based fuels or electricity to
operate machinery for preparing fields, planting and harvesting crops, applying chemicals and to
power crop dryers and irrigation equipment.
For this purpose, the sub-group identified two major areas i.e. Irrigation and Machinery for
energy demand assessment. The data formats have been created in form of a Master Table that
reflects the overall energy consumptions from Irrigation and Machinery. The irrigation and
Machinery table has further been broken down into sub-tables. Machinery tables includes energy
consumption in Tractors, Power Tillers, Combine Harvesters and other equipment like weeders,
sprayers etc. and Irrigation tables includes Canal lift, Tubewells, ponds/wells, micro-irrigation and
other sources. The identified types of fuels used in the agriculture sector along with the units are
as follows:
Oil (million litres): Diesel, LDO, Furnace Oil and others
Natural Gas (mmscmd)
Electricity (kWh): Grid Connected, Renewables (Solar,)
The final energy consumption is to be calculated in kTOE, (1 kWh = 0.085 kTOE, 1million litter
= 2.4 kToE) after uniform conversion of respective resources. The master table is provided below
along with the detailed formats for sub-tables as identified by the group.

4.2 Data Collection Methodology
The sub-group enquired about availability of data from MoSPI, Ministry of Agriculture and other
sources and found that energy data related to agriculture sector is not documented anywhere.
Therefore, sub-group adopted projection & survey based approach for collating the data in order
to bridge the existing gaps.
Survey of the Data: Sub-group identified the data to be collected through survey, its frequency
and agency to conduct survey.
Projection of the Data: Based on the survey conducted, the projection of the required data is
proposed to be done by using linear equations which has been explained along with each table.
4.3 Machinery related Energy Data Format
The complete energy consumption through various units for the purpose of machinery has been
discussed through tables with detailed components as follows along with calculation factors:
10
Table 4.3: Energy requirement for Machinery in Agriculture (Master Table: Machinery)
The total area tilled for cultivating purpose is to be segregated based on the use of tractors and
power tillers and respective areas are to be used for the calculations. The detailed composition of
the above table is given in the tables for sub-components below:
(a) Tractors: The use of tractors in this report includes agricultural activity along with
transportation activity. Therefore the committee recommended that the calculations should be
based on the season-wise (Rabi and Kharif) areas ploughed for the cultivation for different crops
based upon the total hours and number of operations carried out in each cycle crop wise.

5. Recommendations by the sub-group
Based on discussions during the meetings and inputs from the Group of MoSPI, Ministry of
Agriculture & Farmer Welfare, BEE, CEA and PPAC the following recommendations are
made by the sub Group on Demand Side Energy Data Management in Agriculture Sector:
i. Sub-group has tried to calculate energy demand for agriculture sector. However, the
projections are not complete because lack of availability of granular data as required in
the prescribed formula. Therefore, sub-group adopted projection and survey based
approached for collecting the data in order to bridge the gap as explained in para 4.3 &
4.4 and its related table in the main report.
ii. 90% energy data related to agriculture sector is not documented in the central & state
ministries/departments, therefore, sub-group recommends survey to collect the required
data as mentioned in the para 4.3 & 4.4 and it related table in the main report. It is
recommended that survey should be carried out by Ministry of Agriculture & Farmer
Welfare. The data collected from the first survey would be used for period of 5 years.
iii. The frequency of the survey can be increased and Ministry of Agriculture & Farmer
Welfare may try to make it an annual practice once the base line platform for the data
has been establish.
iv. Ministry of Agriculture & Farmer Welfare (MoA&FW) should establish a data cell
which may subsequently establish data cells in each state’s agriculture department. The
state’s data should finally be integrated in the data cell establish Ministry of Agriculture
& Farmer Welfare. The data format created by the sub-group may be converted for state
level and further it may be converted to district level, block level as per the requirement.
v. A National Agriculture Energy Consumption Portal should be made which can
published data in spreadsheet format and this should be extended to include all daily,
monthly and annual reports published by MoA&FW and other sources. Annual
publications of MoA&FW that are currently only available in printed format should be
published in electronic (pdf) format, along with the data being made available in
spreadsheet format.
vi. All data that is published should be available in easy-to-process formats such as
spreadsheets and APIs should be provided to access this data. In this regard, the
guidelines provided under the National Data Sharing and Accessibility Policy (NDSAP)
may be followed.
6. Conclusion
It is first time that a sub-group is working on collection and compilation of the Energy data related
of agriculture sector. The importance of energy data of agriculture sector is immense and it may
be used for better planning for shifting from fossil fuel based energy to clean & green energy in
the sector. The work done by sub-group is the base work in this direction and it may further be
enhanced as per availability of the data and requirement of the sector.
