TEDDY (TERI Energy Data Directory and Yearbook), is an annual publication brought out by TERI which provides updated information on the energy supply sectors (coal and lignite, oil and gas, power, and renewable energy sources) as well as the energy-consuming sectors (agriculture, industry, transport, residential, and commercial sectors). Given the relevance of linkages between the energy and environment, topics on local and global environment have also been dealt with in detail. Each chapter is followed by a listing of relevant developments that have taken place during the year along with detailed tables in the appendices.
