By Dolly Khattar The Indian solar power segment has, in the past, had a reputation for poor quality, but with the launch of the National Solar Mission (NSM) in 2010, investors started to feel more […]
By Khushboo Goyal Renewable energy developers in India are largely constrained by two issues – inadequate land and power evacuation infrastructure. The situation is so critical that several tenders have been cancelled or postponed in […]
By Dolly Khattar Big Indian cities are pivotal to India’s growth and economic development. However, these cities have grown erratically and unsustainably, resulting in chaotic traffic, unhealthy pollution levels, lethargic administrations, mounting waste dumps, legacy […]
By Ashay Abbhi The transmission network is the largest casualty of renewable energy integration. Given the mandate to generate and procure a greater amount of renewable energy, states face multiple challenges, in terms of renewable […]
By Sarthak Takyar Captive power plants (CPPs) play a significant role in meeting the power generation requirements of commercial and industrial (C&I) users and reducing their dependence on the grid while optimising energy costs. According […]
By Khushboo Goyal In recent months, a number of renewable-based captive power plants (CPPs) have come up across industries and corporates. In January 2019, Suzlon Energy commissioned an 8.4 MW wind CPP for Hindustan Aeronautics […]
By Sarthak Takyar The Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) recently concluded the auction of Tranche VI of Inter State Transmission System (ISTS)-connected wind power projects worth 1,200 MW and grid-connected solar projects of 750 […]
The Indian power sector is moving closer to its targets, including Power for All by 2019 and 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2022. While setting targets is indeed important for defining overall growth […]
By Sarthak Takyar A Mumbai-based company, Magenta Power created a buzz last year with the launch of India’s first solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging station. This pilot started discussions in the industry about the cleanest […]
By Sarthak Takyar Renewable energy companies are facing increasing financial pressure. Their profit margins are shrinking owing to falling tariffs; meanwhile, the cost of domestic finance continues to be high. While tariffs have stabilised somewhat […]
By Ashay Abbhi On February 19, 2019, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) approved Phase II of the grid-connected rooftop solar programme, which is aimed at achieving 40,000 MW of rooftop solar capacity by […]

The small hilly state of Uttarakhand was formed just two decades back on the premise that abundant hydropower and increasing tourism would make the state profitable. Nearly two decades later, it is safe to say […]
Most states in India have significantly higher tariffs for commercial and industrial (C&I) consumers as compared to residential and public sector consumers. However, with solar power surpassing grid parity in recent years, C&I consumers have […]
Dr Varun Sivaram is a physicist, chief technology officer of India’s largest renewable energy firm ReNew Power Limited and a senior research scholar at Columbia University’s Center for Global Energy Policy. Dr Sivaram’s previous roles […]
In what can be termed as the first significant move towards resolving the issue of land constraints for renewable energy project development, the Government of Gujarat has released its land policy for such projects. The […]
For the past one year, the solar industry has been focusing more on rooftop solar development. An increasing number of states are reforming their net metering regulations. In Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh, new net […]
The Indian renewable energy sector has finally come of age. The phenomenal growth is a result of dynamic policy changes at the central and state levels, sustained decrease in capital costs and tariffs, and regulatory […]
Tamil Nadu has been one of the early adopters of solar power in the country. With abundant solar irradiation, strong political will and favourable policy measures, the state has been able to rapidly scale up […]
India has about 76 GW of installed renewable energy capacity and policymakers are quite confident that the set target of 175 GW will be achieved on time, by 2022. That said, the renewable energy sector […]
