The Centre has not cancelled any renewable energy project awards and has prepared no list for future cancellations, MNRE minister Pralhad Joshi told Parliament in a written reply

Grid-level constraints compound the problem. Solar generation is geographically concentrated, while transmission capacity and energy storage remain severely inadequate

Adani Group chairman Gautam Adani on Tuesday said the conglomerate will invest over USD 75 billion in the energy transition space over the next five years, asserting that the country must do what is best for itself, define its own development path and resist external pressures. Speaking at the 100th foundation day of the Indian Institute of Technology (Indian School of Mines), Dhanbad, Adani said the group is building the world's largest renewable energy park at Khavda in Gujarat, spread over 520 sq km. "At full capacity by 2030, this park will generate 30 gw of green energy. At average household consumption, this is equivalent to powering over 60 million homes a year," he said. "With the first 10 GW already commissioned, we are on track to deliver the world's lowest-cost green electron, setting a global benchmark in energy transition," he added. Adani said India is the world's third-largest electricity consumer, but its per capita consumption remains "less than 1,400 kWh a year, l

Suzlon Energy stock: The brokerage has trimmed its target price to ₹60 from ₹66, reflecting a lower valuation multiple due to a temporary slowdown in central tendering activity.

"Under the program, awareness activities and vendor training will be conducted in these cities to encourage people to install rooftop solar systems," the official added

The scheme is targeting to ramp up the coverage to 3.5 million households by the end of 2025-26 and the government has taken various steps to accelerate its implementation

The panel, headed by chairperson Shrirang Appa Barne, has also asked the government to address the slow pace of implementation of solar sector schemes, and work out a PLI scheme

MNRE has urged lenders to expand financing beyond module units to include upstream solar manufacturing while clarifying that no advisory has been issued to pause lending to renewable energy projects

Union New and Renewable Energy Minister Pralhad Joshi on Saturday said India has recorded the highest-ever addition of green energy capacity in the current financial year at 31.25 GW (Gigawatt), including 24.28 GW of solar power. Addressing the inaugural session of the Global Energy Leaders' Summit 2025 here, the minister also announced a 1.5 lakh rooftop solar ULA (Utility Led Aggregation) model for Odisha, which would benefit 7-8 lakh people across the state. The summit was inaugurated by Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi and attended by energy ministers of various states. After taking nearly 70 years to reach 1 TW (Terawatt) of renewable energy capacity in 2022, the world achieved 2 TW by 2024, Joshi said adding that the second terawatt was achieved in just two years. "India is a key driver of this explosive global surge in renewable energy. In just 11 years, the country's solar capacity has grown from 2.8 GW to around 130 GW, a rise of more than 4,500 per cent. Between 2

MNRE secretary Santosh Sarangi said C&I renewables could rise to 60-80 GW by 2030, with this year's installations likely above 5-6 GW via bids and contracts

India's power demand dipped 0.3% to 123 BUs in November amid lower temperatures, even as peak demand hit a record 216 GW, with RE and hydro generation rising and coal output falling

The official said that by 2030, C&I RE capacity will be between 60 GW and 80 GW

The draft framework aims to gradually narrow the permissible gap between the amount of electricity producers commit to supply and what they actually generate and was due to come into effect from April

India's nuclear ambitions hinge on accelerating capacity growth to meet its 100-GW target by 2047, even as policy reforms gather pace and global peers stay far ahead

Europe's drive to cut emissions has delivered big climate gains, but soaring energy costs, factory closures and political backlash are forcing a tough choice between ecological ambition and economic s

At the middle of this optimism is RIL's first battery Giga factory in Jamnagar, slated to start operations in early calendar year 2026 (CY26) with a production capacity of 40GWh per year.

India's projected CO₂ emissions growth of 1% (38.9 GtCO₂/year) is higher than the global average and China's 0.4%, but lower than the US rate of 1.9%

Andhra Pradesh IT Minister Nara Lokesh on Thursday said decarbonisation solutions company ReNew will invest Rs 82,000 crore spanning the entire spectrum of renewable energy value chain. The IT Minister noted that ReNew will invest in high technology areas such as solar ingot and water manufacturing, including project development, green hydrogen and molecules. "In an investment spanning Rs 82,000 crores, Renew will be investing in the high technology areas of solar ingot, wafer manufacturing, down to project development and onwards to green hydrogen and molecules," said Lokesh in a post on 'X'. "After five years out of Andhra Pradesh, it is my proud privilege to announce that Renew is placing an all-in investment on the entire renewable energy value chain," he said. On May 16, Lokesh laid the foundation for a Rs 22,000 crore ReNew renewable energy project in Anantapur district. It encompassed a 4.8 GWp hybrid farm with BESS (battery energy storage system) at Bethapalli village in Go

The policy uncertainties in Europe and the IMO's decision to defer its net-zero framework by a year were the prime factors for the target revision, said Santosh Sarangi

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
