Udaipur has witnessed multi-fold development in the last two decades owing to the development of industrial, administrative, and educational centres in the region. It is a popular tourist destination and is known for its history, culture, scenic locations and Rajput-era palaces. It is also known as a ‘City of Lakes’ due to its sophisticated lake system with five major lakes namely – Fateh Sagar Lake, Lake Pichola, Swaroop Sagar Lake, Goverdhan sagar and Doodh Talai Lake.
UMC population accounts for 2.65% of the urban population of the state and 74.14% of the urban population of the district1. Being a tourist city and famous internationally as one of the most beautiful city in the world, it attracts more than a million tourists annually from across the globe. Tourism sector is the largest contributor to the city’s economy. Foreign tourists comprise around 22-24%, while domestic tourists comprises 76–78%2.

Trend of Energy Consumption and GHG Emission in Udaipur City from 2017-18 to 2019-20:
Figure 3 Trend of energy consumption in Udaipur during 2017-18 to 2019-20
The trend of energy consumption in Udaipur is increasing at an annual average growth rate (AAGR) of 1.7% AAGR from 2017-18 to 2019-20. Commercial and institutional building sector witnesses the highest 5.7% AAGR, followed by Residential buildings (2.7%) and Transport sector (0.9%). The reason behind the significant change in the energy consumption of Commercial and institutional building sector is because Udaipur is the hub for all the commercial and institutional activities for the nearby five districts and is one of the major tourism destinations in India. Agriculture activities are reducing in the city area so the trend of energy consumption in this sector is showing negative.
Figure 4 Trend of GHG emission in Udaipur during 2017-18 to 2019-20
Trend of GHG emission is increasing at 1.1% AAGR from 2017-18 to 2019-20. The Commercial and institutional building sector witnessed the highest 4.8% AAGR, followed by Waste (3.5%), Residential buildings (2.5%) and Transport sector (0.8%). The reason behind the significant change in the energy
consumption of Commercial and institutional building sector is because Udaipur is the hub for all the commercial and institutional activities for the nearby five district and one of the major tourism destination in India.
Supply Side Energy Consumption and associated GHG Emissions:
Primary and secondary energy sources supplied to the demand-side sectors for consumption are referred to as the supply-side sources. These include liquid, solid and gaseous fuels, electricity and renewable sources of energy. Grid electricity is the dominant energy type that is typically used in almost all sectors. Petroleum products are used extensively for community transportation in the Udaipur city.
