N2  - Energy Development: Issues and Policies by Ramaswamy and Anandan provides a structured, policy-oriented exploration of energy systems in India and globally. It starts by defining technical fundamentals—forms of energy, energy systems, commercial/non‑commercial energy, and outlining India’s energy landscape with forecasts and security planning.
The text then shifts to practical themes: implementing energy management, designing tariffs, and identifying conservation opportunities across various sectors (residential, transport, agricultural, industrial, and lighting). The book likely continues with in-depth discussions on renewable energy policies, environmental impact, energy economics, and social equity, reflecting the comprehensive scope suggested by other titles from the authors.
