Population of INDIA compare to world is
10%
16%
25%
50%
16%
India accounts for approximately 16% to 18% of the world's population, making it one of the most populous nations globally. This demographic metric is a critical input in power system planning, as it directly influences the per capita energy consumption and the total connected load requirements of the national grid.

PC=PopulationTotalEnergyConsumedтАЛ тАФ Per Capita Energy Consumption Calculation
In electrical engineering and energy audit, the demographic size acts as the numerator in calculating national energy intensity and per-capita availability. Since EnergytotalтАЛ=Population├ЧPerCapitaConsumption, a high population percentage necessitates higher generation capacity and efficient distribution infrastructure to maintain stability in power systems.
India is home to roughly 17-18% of the global population while occupying only 2.4% of the land area.
Population data is essential for Load Forecasting in Power System Engineering.
High population density requires robust transmission networks to ensure energy equity.
Helps in accurately forecasting peak demand
Essential for sizing power plants to meet national load requirements
High population growth creates rapid shifts in energy demand patterns
Increases the challenge for Distribution Companies (DISCOMs) in maintaining supply reliability
Energy Auditing and National Energy Policy Formulation
Load Dispatch Center (LDC) planning for regional grids
While 16% is the historical reference figure in older engineering text archives, current census projections place India closer to 17.7% of the global population.
Option B (16%) is the standard value used in older competitive exam textbooks for curriculum alignment.
B is correct тАФ India's population as a percentage of the total world population is approximately 16-18%.
Always relate demographic data to 'Energy Intensity' (GDPEnergyтАЛ) during energy audit exams, as this is a common trap for questions involving population statistics.
