Long-term policy support key to meeting India's energy goals: Experts

Long-term policy frameworks, particularly for hybrid renewables energy, along with a thrust on adoption of technologies and incentive-driven manufacturing, will help the country meet its renewable energy goals, experts said. Experts also believed decarbonisation will continue to be a priority for the industry. Sharing his views, Piyush Goyal, CEO and Co-founder of Volks Energie, said there are certain areas which are essential not only for meeting climate commitments, but also for powering India's industrial growth, enhancing energy security, and ensuring affordable electricity for consumers. "Accelerating grid upgrades and storage adoption must be treated as national priorities as India's future energy mix depends on both. Further, incentivising domestic manufacturing of inverters, batteries, and critical components will reduce import dependencies and build supply-chain resilience," Goyal said. Manish Dabkara, CMD of carbon credits firm EKI Energy Services, said emerging ...

Renewable energy adoption has gained momentum in the Indian textile industry, but intensity-related challenges still persist, stated an ICRA ESG Ratings Report.

Will invest over $75 bn in energy transition space in 5 yrs: Gautam Adani

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.
