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 […]
The rapid surge of artificial intelligence (AI) and AI workloads is fundamentally reshaping the scale and nature of digital infrastructure, placing data centres at the forefront of technological growth across economies. However, this growth is […]
Green hydrogen is slowly becoming a key component of India’s low-carbon transition. Its role in cutting industrial emissions, reducing dependence on imported fossil fuels, and improving long-term energy security has elevated it to the policy […]
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. […]
India’s renewable energy sector is undergoing a transformation. At solar parks, wind farms and control rooms, decisions once made after manual inspection are now being executed by lines of code. […]
Marking a significant step towards creating a digital public infrastructure (DPI) for the power sector, the Ministry of Power has released Version 0.3 of the India Energy Stack (IES) architecture and strategy documents. The strategy […]
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 […]
The Revamped Distribution Sector Scheme (RDSS) marks a shift towards outcome-linked reforms in the distribution segment, with a focus on addressing persistent financial stress and operational inefficiencies at the discom level. The scheme aims to […]
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 […]
The Ministry of Power has released the Draft National Electricity Policy (NEP) 2026, a landmark document aimed at steering India’s power sector towards the vision of Viksit Bharat @2047. Once finalised, the policy will replace […]
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 […]
The Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Technology for India [SHANTI] Bill, 2025, marks a decisive shift in India’s approach to civil nuclear energy. Passed by Parliament, the bill repeals the Atomic Energy Act, 1962, […]
