Agricultural electricity consumption in India is dominated by

  • A.processing and milling
  • B.lighting of farm buildings
  • C.irrigation pumping
  • D.cold storage of produce

Answer: C

Correct answer: irrigation pumping

Almost all agricultural electricity in India goes to pumping water for irrigation, and the sector accounts for something like a fifth of national consumption. The pumps are often inefficient and, because the supply is heavily subsidised or unmetered, there is little incentive to improve them - which is why pump replacement and agricultural feeder separation are recurring policy measures.
