A generalized framework for the estimation of primary energy demand for parboiling and milling of paddy in India has been proposed. The dependence of both the electrical and thermal energy components of the demand on different methods of parboiling and technologies for milling have been considered. The possible uncertainties in the above estimation have also been identified. A few numerical calculations have been made for some typical technology/product mix scenarios. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
