The Constitutional Imperative of Energy Conservation in India

Energy conservation has emerged as a critical component of Sustainable Development Goals in India, a nation grappling with rapid industrialization, urbanization, and increasing energy demands. This paper explores the constitutional dimensions of energy conservation in India, focusing on the interplay between fundamental rights, Directive Principles of State Policy, and Fundamental Duties. Further, the research delves into the Federal structure under the Seventh Schedule, analyzing the distribution of legislative powers related to energy and environmental governance. However the researcher have not included the judicial interpretations and limited its study on constitutional provisions which led to the inception of Energy Conservation Law in India. The findings advocate for strengthening constitutional mechanisms to ensure equitable and efficient energy use, reinforcing the vision of sustainable development.
