India’s renewable energy financing ecosystem has entered a phase of scale, diversification and institutional maturity, supported by stronger policy backing, higher budgetary allocations, rising foreign direct investment (FDI), expanding institutional lending and active public market […]
India’s renewable energy transition is at a crossroads. While solar and wind continue to anchor capacity growth, emerging segments such as storage, hybrids, biofuels and green hydrogen are increasingly shaping the next stage of expansion. […]
The power generation segment is the cornerstone of India’s economy, ensuring energy security for over 1.4 billion people and facilitating the nation’s transition to a $5 trillion economy. Over the past decade, India’s power generation […]
India’s power distribution segment remains at the centre of ongoing power sector reforms, as its operational efficiency and financial viability ultimately determine the sustainability of the entire electricity value chain. In recent years, policy efforts […]
Operations and maintenance (O&M) strategies are central to the efficiency, availability and operating life of hydropower assets. Given the capital-intensive nature, long asset life and site-specific characteristics of hydropower projects, effective O&M practices are essential […]
Hydropower remains a cornerstone of India’s renewable energy mix, offering a unique combination of clean generation, grid stability and long-duration storage. Following a period of slowdown, the sector is regaining momentum, marked by rapid capacity […]
The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has released a report titled “Roadmap to 100 GW of Hydro Pumped Storage Projects (PSPs) by 2035-36”, outlining a strategic pathway for scaling up pumped storage capacity over the next […]
Hydropower is an important strategic asset in India’s evolving power system as it supports renewable generation while also providing flexibility services as variable renewable energy scales up. Hydropower projects are increasingly being digitalised to operate […]
Emerging technologies are rapidly reshaping the electrical characteristics of power systems. Inverter-based renewable generation, electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, artificial intelligence-driven computing and large-scale data centres are introducing new patterns of electricity production and consumption […]
Power quality has become a critical determinant of grid reliability and system efficiency as India’s power sector undergoes rapid change. Issues such as voltage fluctuations, harmonic distortion, poor power factor and electrical noise, long treated […]
Power quality (PQ) is increasingly becoming an important parameter in the Indian power sector, with the focus shifting from capacity addition to reliability, efficiency and consumer-centric performance. While the country has made significant progress in […]
India’s transmission network is witnessing rapid growth to cater to the country’s rising power demand and expanding generation capacity. In recent years, this growth has been marked by the physical expansion of the network and […]
As India accelerates towards its ambitious targets of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030 and attaining net-zero emissions by 2070, the development of a robust power transmission network will play a pivotal […]
The road to energy transition in India depends not only on the speed of renewable energy capacity addition, but also on the transmission sector’s ability to move power across regions in the country. As per […]
Cross-border interconnections are becoming increasingly important as countries seek to strengthen energy security and integrate renewables into their grids. These links allow surplus power to flow across national boundaries and thus help balance seasonal and […]
The central government has set a 37 GW offshore wind target for 2030 and has approved Rs 7.45 billion viability gap funding package. Of this funding, roughly Rs 6.85 billion is dedicated to supporting the […]
The expansion and modernisation of electricity come with several constraints, such as land acquisition hurdles, installation challenges in highdensity areas, difficult terrains and long installation times. In light of these challenges, the power sector is […]
