Integration of AI can help manage complexities in the power sector, including in India, where the share of renewables is expected to grow in the years to come, an expert from the International Energy Agency (IEA) said. "...We are seeing a very strong trend of increasing complexity of the energy sector at large, specifically the electricity systems. So why is it becoming more complex? One is that in general the electrification is rising," Siddharth Sigh of IEA said while speaking at the AI Impact Summit in the national capital. During a panel discussion on Monday on AI for Power -- Accelerating the Clean Energy Transition -- the energy expert said, the end use of energy is more compared to other fuels. There is greater variable renewable electricity for the system, which was never the case in the past. Most of the other sources of electricity were stable, that is no longer the case. Now with solar and wind, the share of variable renewables is expected to be sizeable by the end of th

Union Budget 2026-27 lays out a long-term energy strategy focused on decarbonisation and supply chain resilience through CCUS funding, nuclear incentives, battery storage support, logistics upgrades

Essar Green Mobility is targeting to deploy 30,000 LNG and electric trucks supported by a network of 100 alternative fuel and charging hubs across the country as part of India's largest clean freight initiatives, an official said. The expansion is expected to cut around one million tonnes of CO2 annually from freight operations - a key contributor to transport emissions - marking a significant step in decarbonising the logistics sector. "The transition away from diesel will happen only when clean alternatives match the operational and economic realities of freight movement. That is the gap we are addressing," said B C Tripathi, Operating Partner - Energy, Essar Group. The plan integrates vehicle manufacturing, fleet operations and fuelling infrastructure to create a fully scaled clean freight ecosystem. Essar says this end-to-end model will help address high upfront costs and infrastructure bottlenecks that have constrained adoption of low-emission freight technologies in India's .

Centre to assess state demand before issuing new renewable energy auctions

Electric vehicles promise a green future, but the dirty reality of battery supply chains raises a harder question: climate solution-or the next environmental and human cost?

Three Indian entrepreneurs on Monday came together here to launch a next-generation integrated clean energy platform, LNK Energy, with an initial investment of Rs 10,000 crore over the next five years. It will begin operations with a 6 GW solar cell and module with an integrated ingot and wafer plant in Maharashtra, the organisers said during the launch on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026. LNK Energy's areas of operation would include advanced manufacturing, green fuels, and renewable energy generation. The company said its first project will be spread over 60 acres at Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, Maharashtra, and will manufacture high-efficiency solar cells and modules using advanced technologies and global best practices. It has signed an agreement with the Maharashtra government for setting up the project. Its co-founders are Paritosh Ladhani, Joint Managing Director of SLMG Beverages, the largest bottler of Coca-Cola in India; Kushagra Nandan, ...

COP30 President Andre Corra do Lago has praised India and China for playing a transformative role in the global energy transition, saying both countries have embraced climate action "in a very clear way" and are driving down the cost of clean technologies worldwide. Addressing a press conference at the opening of COP30 in Belem, Brazil, do Lago said China has "embraced this agenda in an extraordinary way" by combining scale, technology and affordability, three crucial ingredients that have accelerated the world's progress towards cleaner energy systems. He said both China and India are shaping the future of the global energy transition. China has very advanced technology and has a scale that can only be compared to India. And India is somehow doing the same, because they also have brilliant companies and engineers and incredible people. They are going in the same direction, he said in response to a question on China's contribution to the fight against climate change Do Lago emphasi
