Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws,
this book provides a systematic approach to legislation and legal practice
concerning energy resources and production in India.
The book describes the administrative organization, regulatory framework, and
relevant case law pertaining to the development, application, and use of such
forms of energy as electricity, gas, petroleum, and coal, with attention as
needed to the pervasive legal effects of competition law, environmental law,
and tax law. A general introduction covers the geography of energy resources,
sources and basic principles of energy law, and the relevant governmental
institutions. Then follows a detailed description of specific legislation and
regulation affecting such factors as documentation, undertakings, facilities,
storage, pricing, procurement and sales, transportation, transmission,
distribution, and supply of each form of energy. Case law, intergovernmental
cooperation agreements, and interactions with environmental, tax, and
competition law are explained.
Its succinct yet scholarly nature, as well as the practical quality of the
information it provides, make this book a valuable resource for energy sector
policymakers and energy firm counsel handling cases affecting India. It will
also be welcomed by researchers and academics for its contribution to the
study of a complex field that today stands at the foreground of comparative
law.
