The regulator approved a Rs 3.39 per unit tariff for BBMB's 1 MW pilot project despite the absence of specific central guidelines, with one member dissenting over CERC's jurisdiction

Suzlon on Tuesday said it has secured a 200 MW wind energy order from Ayana Renewable Power Ltd, marking the company's third devco-led wind order across two states -- Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh. A devco-led order is an integrated development model, where a renewable energy supplier provides end-to-end project execution from early-stage site development to complete construction. As part of the project, Suzlon will install 64 of its flagship S144 wind turbines, each with a rated capacity of 3.15 MW, a company statement said. With this order, Suzlon's flagship 3.x MW platform, S144, has also crossed the 10 GW milestone, it added. "With 55 GW+ wind potential at 150 metres, Madhya Pradesh is well positioned to be one of the key states which will drive the next phase of India's wind energy growth. We have won two consecutive wind orders from the state reflecting this growing momentum and the opportunity ahead," Girish Tanti, Vice Chairman and Co-Founder, Suzlon Group, said. The .

India's module capacity reached 233 GW in June, nearly seven times its cell capacity, leaving factories operating well below levels needed for sustainable operations

India's PM-SSY targets 5 GW of floating solar capacity with two-hour storage and Rs 28,500 crore of investment, but high costs, viability concerns and technical risks could impede scale-up.

For these industries, their operating costs would be substantially lower if they used solar thermal systems, as solar radiation is free unlike diesel and gas

UP targets ₹10,000 crore investment as power demand rises; UPPCL, MP Power Management Company sign MoU for 2,000 MW peak power procurement and power banking

Rising round-the-clock renewable power and a larger merchant market could give India's electricity futures market the volumes it needs to deepen and mature

The growing renewable capacity has created an immediate need to scale up storage systems, industry stakeholders said, highlighting the huge gap between the demand and current capability to manufacture essential battery cell components. Sharing their views with PTI, industry members have also cautioned against treating import dependence as a reason for slow deployment. The experts' comments assume significance as India's domestic battery manufacturing currently accounts for less than 1 per cent (2 GWh) of its approximately 260 GWh demand pipeline from competitive tenders in 2026. Battery energy storage systems (BESS) and pumped storage projects are gaining importance as India expands renewable capacity to meet rising electricity demand and balance solar generation with peak demand, Sunkind India founder and Managing Director Hanish Gupta said. Batteries and other storage technologies are key to addressing the intermittency risk of solar power and unlocking its growth potential, Prem

Collaboration on advanced energy storage technologies, resilient supply chains, and timely access to critical minerals is key to achieving renewable energy targets, industry body IESA told BRICS countries on Tuesday. The India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) handled the technical coordination at a virtual event which was attended by representatives from Brazil, Russia, the United Arab Emirates, and other members of BRICS - a forum of emerging economies. The event, organised by the power ministry, was aimed at accelerating India's clean energy transition by deepening international collaboration on advanced energy storage technologies and developing resilient local supply chains. According to a statement, IESA has urged BRICS nations, including Brazil, Russia, and the UAE, to strengthen energy cooperation and mineral security. It also submitted recommendations to the Indian government. India's clean industrial investment pipeline has reached an estimated USD 433 billion, placing the .

Jaipur-based Shera Energy is targeting 25-30 per cent revenue growth in the current financial year, supported by capacity expansion and foray into new value-added products to cater to the power and renewable energy sectors, according to a top company official. The NSE-listed company, which is also into recycling, began operations in 2003 with aluminium winding wires and had annual revenues of around Rs 20 crore during its early years, its Chairman and Managing Director Naseem Sheikh said in an interaction with PTI. In FY26 Shera Energy reported annual turnover of Rs 1,640 crore. The company manufactures winding wires and other electrical products using copper, aluminium and brass, catering primarily to transformers, motors and other electrical equipment. "This year, we intend to grow another 25-30 per cent on our revenues and bottom line," Sheikh said. To achieve its goal, Shera Energy is expanding its product portfolio into higher value-added segments, including solar ribbon and
