The Indian power sector has seen substantial developments over the past year, reflecting both progress and challenges in its ongoing energy transition. Power demand has been growing and the peak demand has risen to 250 […]
The power generation segment is making significant progress, driven by the country’s clean energy goals and energy transition efforts. While renewable energy capacity is seeing substantial growth, the role of thermal power is undergoing a […]
Thermal power remains vital in India’s energy landscape, especially in meeting peak summer demand, contributing 54 per cent of the total installed capacity of 446 GW (as of June 2024). However, coal-based capacity addition has […]
With global concerns regarding energy security, depleting fossil fuel reserves, increasing pollution levels and the looming threat of climate change, countries are increasingly prioritising the transition towards greener energy sources. As a result, the deployment […]
Diesel generator (DG) sets are an important source of power supply for various sectors such as railways, marine, mining, building and construction, and telecom and data centres. Their usage has, however, declined in the commercial […]
The past one decade clearly belongs to renewable energy. The first 100 GW of fossil fuel capacity addition took more than 60 years, whereas renewable energy raced to 100 GW in less than 15 years (especially the last 50 GW added over five years). Over the past few years, renewable energy capacity addition had been consistently more than fossil fuel capacity addition. The scale of capacity addition combined with competitive bidding as well as the reduction of input costs has resulted in tariffs […]
Despite the declining power deficit, the demand for diesel generator (DG) sets and engines is expected to stay strong, led by an increase in backup power requirements due to growing urbanisation and higher government spending […]
The Ujwal Discom Assurance Yojana (UDAY) was launched as a panacea for the revival of the debt-stressed discoms. Nearly two years down the line, some positive results can be seen on the ground. The discoms’ […]
