Quarter

1. Health - 6.1% ( 5.6% Insurance, 0.5% Rest )
2. Telecom - 1.15% ( 0.24% Phone )

Following is the chart of expenses for pre-paid cellular service for last 5 years (in INR) -

It's been ~150 days now in UP and following is the expense category split -

1. Taxes - 32%, Rs. 230 per day
2. Rent - 28%, Rs. 200 per day
3. Misc - 13%, Rs. 92 per day
4. Travel - 11%, Rs. 78 per day
5. Food - 9%, Rs. 66 per day (subsidized)
6. Internet - 4%, Rs. 27 per day
7. Commute - 2%, Rs. 15 per day
8. Electricity - 1%, Rs. 8 per day
9. Water - Free!

Total - Rs. 716 per day

Clearly the housing and communications are not in desirable range, however the rest of the infrastructure is overall competitive.

My rough energy intensity calculations have gone a bit haywire. I'd skip the lengthy calculation and directly give the number - 1120 tons per $mil expense. (excludes investment and professional outlay). This was ~750 for the time in Bangalore. Why the sudden increase

• More per-capita electricity usage (~3 base units per day, 1.4 tons GHG)
• More miles in traveled in a private four-wheeler (1000+ miles, 40mpg ~0.26 tons GHG)

I was stacking up some of these numbers, to put things in context. Again cutting out the conversion math, following is the breakup of major energy sources and their per day usage by India  (rough 2009-10 figures) -

1. Oil - 2.7mn bbl per day = 4.63 GkWh per day
2. Gas - 4.9 bcf per day = 1.47 GkWh per day
3. Coal - 842,563 tons per day = 5.43 GkWh per day
4. Others - 3.2 GkWh per day
5. Total ~ 14.7 GkWh per day  (~=0.46bn toe per annum)

Gapminder's 2007 estimate puts Indian per annum energy usage at 0.59bn toe, so it'd appear that my calculations are underestimating the other's category.

If we take Gapminder's 2007 number, then we get the same 703 watts per capita (16.8 kWh units per day). From my data it comes to be 560 watts (13.4 kWh units per day per capita).

Few sample reference points - 

• Average human body requires 2100 kCal per day or ~2.5 kWh units per day (~102 Watts)
• CFL - typically 16 to 24 Watts
• Laptop - 18 to 40 Watts (with 60-90 Whr batteries)
• iPad - 2 to 4 Watts (shipping with 25Whr battery = 10 hours usage)
• Smartphone - 0.15 to 0.6 watts (with typically 1200 mAh = 3.5 Whr battery)
• Nissan Leaf ships with 24kWhr batteries with ~3.7 miles range per kWhr charge.
