Abstract: Abstract Social accounting matrix (SAM) is a technique related to national income accounting, providing a conceptual basis for examining both growth and distributional issues within a single analytical framework in an economy. It can be seen as a means of presenting in a single matrix the interaction between production, income, consumption, and capital accumulation. In this describe the concept and, we describe the concept and methodology for construction of a SAM for India. The novelty of this SAM is a detailed account of disaggregated energy sectors, electricity sectors, energy intensive sectors, and biomass as an alternative source of fuel. Further, this is one of the latest SAMs for India with such a high level of disaggregation.
