Tidal Energy is one of the future energy generation sources for India as it could result in economic green progress of the country with minimal carbon emission. The Tidal energy technology is at nascent stage if current status of renewable energy generation in India is taken into account. In case of India, there is tremendous scope for the tidal energy as India has a very vast coastline and numerous islands in Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea. Also few tidal energy power generation techniques have been discussed in brief. This paper presents a basic review of the current scenario of tidal energy technology and discusses its barriers & way forward for tidal energy development in India.
