Table below captures trend in India's per capita energy consumption
For 2023-24, primary energy consumption was 38,478.9 PJ, and mid-year population was 1,395,478.0 thousands or ~1,395.48 million. This translates into per capita energy consumption of 27,574.0 MJ per person
( 1 PJ = 10^9 MJ, and 1 million = 10^6, hence per capita energy consumption = 38.478.9*10^9/(1,395.48*10^6)
27,574 MJ per person is same as 27.57 GJ/person
