India is spearheading a massive e-mobility revolution as part of its ambitious green energy transition endeavours. The country aims to reach net zero emissions by 2070 and the transportation sector is expected to play a […]
Climate change will be mankind’s most pressing challenge in the coming decades. For India, decarbonisation of the electricity sector is paramount because of the disproportional role of electricity in the economy. […]
As the global chorus of concern around climate change grows, India’s commitments to climate change mitigation have also ushered in a change in the country’s energy scenario. India’s energy mix is gradually transitioning towards a decarbonised energy sector, based largely on clean forms of energy, including renewable power sources such as solar and wind. […]
The Kyoto Protocol of 1997 mandated emission reduction targets only for developed nations while allowing developing countries with low per capita emissions to take a voluntary approach towards their emission reduction targets from a “climate justice” standpoint. Nothing substantial has been achieved of the agreed emission reduction commitments made by developed nations nor has the promised assistance ($100 billion per year) to developing countries been delivered. […]
As per a recent research report, energy consumption by electric vehicles (EVs) would account for 3 per cent of India’s total power demand by 2030. Thus, the transition towards electric mobility offers India not only […]
Technological advancements and innovations are transforming the electricity distribution landscape of utilities across the world. This is being driven mainly by the rapid electrification of sectors like transportation, expansion of decentralised generation with the declining […]
India’s commitment to its climate goals is reflected by the notable actions being taken for transition to a low-carbon economy. After announcing massive renewable energy targets, the country has set yet another ambitious target – […]
As envisioned in the National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP), 2020, electric vehicles (EVs) are likely to play a significant role in India’s transition to a low-carbon economy. The government is pushing for e-mobility and […]
The technology landscape in the power sector is evolving at a fast pace driven by the changing energy mix and increasing electricity supply. As renewable capacity continues to grow, technology adoption becomes imperative to maintain […]
The government has announced an ambitious goal to switch to electric cars by 2030 and phase out diesel and petrol cars. Significant initiatives are being taken to achieve this objective, including the launch of the […]
The grid-connected gas-based power generation capacity currently stands at 25,329 MW, accounting for about 8 per cent of the total power capacity in the country. However, the potential of gas-based power plants remains vastly untapped. […]
