Sustainability has become a defining pillar of India’s fast-growing data centre ecosystem. Over the past few years, the conversation has expanded far beyond standalone green power procurement to a broader evaluation of long-term decarbonisation pathways, […]
By Aastha Sharma Biomass co-firing has become a viable transition pathway for India’s coal-based thermal fleet, enabling emissions reduction without extensive plant modifications. By replacing a portion of coal with biomass pellets, thermal power plants […]
India’s clean energy transition has entered a decisive operational phase. As renewable capacity scales rapidly across regions, technologies and market structures, the sector’s priorities are shifting from installation speed to sustained performance. Grid volatility, tightening […]
The recent Power Line TransTech India 2025 conference and exhibition featured a session on “Focus on Renewable Energy Evacuation”, wherein the panelists discussed the status of interstate and intra-state transmission planning, regional congestion, connectivity and […]
By Sakshi Bansal India’s renewable energy sector has recorded robust growth across technologies, underpinned by policy support. As of November 30, 2025, the country’s total installed renewable energy capacity (including large hydro) stood at 254 […]
By Khushboo Goyal The year 2025 has been an exciting one for the Indian renewable energy sector, with the installed renewable energy capacity crossing 200 GW as of October 2025. Of this, 27 GW has […]
By Preeti Wadhwa Green hydrogen is emerging as a catalyst in India’s transition to a low-carbon economy. Its potential to cut industrial emissions, reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels and enhance long-term energy security has […]
Over the past 15 years, several landmark renewable energy projects have shaped the sector’s growth trajectory. These projects have set new benchmarks in terms of technology, project design and tariffs, while also addressing key challenges […]
By Karan Sharma Bioenergy is increasingly being viewed as a cornerstone of India’s transition to a lower-carbon, circular economy. The sector already accounts for about 13 per cent of total energy consumption, as per the […]
By Nidhi Dua Round-the-clock (RTC) renewables, firm and despatchable renewable energy (FDRE), and hybrid projects with battery energy storage systems (BESS) form the backbone of a reliable and resilient renewable-powered grid. While renewable energy has […]
By Sakshi Bansal India’s hydropower sector has witnessed a strong revival in capacity addition and generation over the past year, driven by the commissioning of key projects and the accelerated development of pumped storage projects […]
By Preeti Wadhwa As per the National Institute of Wind Energy estimates, India has immense wind energy potential – about 695.5 GW at 120 metres above the ground level. As of October 31, 2025, the […]
By Sakshi Bansal India’s solar energy segment is undergoing a significant transformation as the country intensifies its efforts to harness solar power to meet its growing energy demand. This growth is driven by a combination […]
By Karan Sharma India’s renewables sector has entered a phase where simply building capacity is no longer sufficient; extracting value from existing assets has become equally critical. In this context, technology and organisational agility matter […]
Supported by strong policy frameworks and investments, India is rapidly scaling up its domestic solar manufacturing. One of the key policy initiatives in this space was the introduction of the Approved List of Models and […]
The Indian government introduced the E20 blended fuel programme in 2025. This is a welcome step that demonstrates the government’s efforts to improve air pollution and environmental degradation. However, in recent months, there have been […]
In a push to accelerate India’s decarbonisation goals and increase renewables consumption, the Ministry of Power (MoP), in consultation with the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), issued a draft renewable consumption obligation (RCO) notification in […]
In a major move, the Indian government plans to reduce the applicable GST rates on several renewable energy devices and parts from 12 per cent to 5 per cent. These include solar cookers, solar water […]
