Due to recent economic growth and the fact that India still use large quantities of fossil fuels for electricity generation, emissions are expected to increase further and contribute to global warming. No consistent approach has been reported to evaluate energy sector sustainability [24]. In developed countries, the sustainabil- ity is mainly focused on environmental dimension, while in a developing country context, societal issues like poverty and equity should also be considered when making sustainability assessment [25]. Although ,some studies are available on sustainability assess- ment in developed countries [26], no suchsignificant research work on sustainability assessment in energy planning and man- agement has been reported in developing countries, especially in India where energy demands are so high. The Indian energy sector is not on a sustainable path as a consequence of high dependence on fossil fuels, ignorance of environmental and social aspects of energies, and inefficient technologies. Therefore, providing reason- ably priced, consistent and clean energies to the entire population as well as energy supply security and reducing environmental damages will remain a challenging mission for sustainable energy viewpoint of India [27]. This calls for developing a decision framework for assessing the sustainability in energy planning and management in Indian perspective.
