Detailed Solution

87% of India's energy comes from the use of non-renewable sources at present.
The sources of energy that cannot be renewed, produced or recycled on a large scale and generally exist in a fixed amount are called non-renewable sources of energy. In India, there are several non-renewable sources of energy like coal, petroleum, oil and natural gas. At present, the majority of India's (around 87%) energy comes from non-renewable sources. Coal is the most used non-renewable source of energy as industries of steel and carbon-chemical depend on it. Additionally, the consumption of many non-renewable resources leads to pollution.
