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 […]
Batteries are emerging as a key tool in India’s power transition, offering a flexible solution to the challenges of a high-renewables grid. From storing low-cost solar and wind energy to supporting real-time grid stability, battery […]
India’s green ammonia market has been buzzing with activity since the launch of the National Green Hydrogen Mission. The government-led initiative has rapidly gained significant momentum, attracting strong industry interest and catering to stakeholder expectations […]
By Sakshi Bansal India’s renewable energy sector is evolving beyond the well-established solar and wind segments, with increasing momentum across emerging clean technologies such as hybrids, energy storage systems (ESSs) such as battery energy storage […]
By Priyanka Kwatra India’s power sector has been undergoing a digital transformation. While a range of technologies across the value chain have been deployed, most implementations have remained siloed – limiting their collective impact and […]
India’s renewable energy transition continues to gain momentum, having reached a key milestone in June 2025 when more than 50 per cent of the country’s installed power generation capacity came from non-fossil fuel sources. As […]
