Tata Power Renewable commissions 100.8 MW wind project in Maharashtra

Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL) on Friday said it has successfully commissioned its 100.8 MW Jewali Wind Project in Dharashiv district, Maharashtra. The facility will supply electricity to Tata Power Mumbai Distribution, helping compliance with Renewable Purchase Obligation targets and supporting the transition to a more sustainable and environmentally responsible utility, it stated. The project comprises 28 SG 3.6-145 Wind Turbine Generators, based on advanced horizontal-axis wind turbine technology. The facility is expected to generate approximately 299 million units (kWh) of clean electricity annually. The project is expected to offset nearly 245 million kg of CO emissions every year, based on an estimated emissions reduction of 0.82 kg of CO per unit of electricity generated, making a significant contribution towards decarbonisation and enhancing Tata Power's clean energy portfolio. With this commissioning, TPREL's wind energy portfolio now exceeds 3.9 GW, including mo

Adani Green says 2,000 GW capacity vital for India's energy security

India must add nearly 2,000 gigawatts of new power generation capacity over the next two decades to meet rising energy demand while reducing dependence on imported fuels, Adani Green Energy Executive Director Sagar Adani said, calling electrification the country's clearest pathway to energy security. Speaking at the inaugural Adani Green Electrification Dialogue here, Adani said India faces the dual challenge of meeting surging electricity demand while ensuring energy remains affordable, accessible and increasingly clean amid growing geopolitical uncertainty. "We are talking about a structural leap, adding nearly 2,000 gigawatts of new capacity over the next two decades. All while ensuring that this energy remains affordable, accessible, and increasingly clean. That is the scale of the opportunity. And that is India's defining challenge," he said. Adani said India consumed about 10,000 terawatt-hours of energy across all fuel sources in 2024, compared with 32,810 terawatt-hours in .

RIL betting on India's energy 'supercycle' with major investments

Reliance Industries is positioning itself for what Chairman Mukesh Ambani described as an impending energy "supercycle" in India, ramping up investments across renewable energy, chemicals, advanced materials and alternative fuels as the conglomerate seeks to reduce the country's dependence on imported energy. Speaking at company's annual shareholder meeting, Ambani said Reliance is pursuing an integrated energy strategy spanning solar power, batteries, wind energy, hydrogen, compressed biogas (CBG), bioenergy and underground coal gasification, aimed at strengthening India's energy security while supporting its transition to cleaner fuels. The push comes as India remains heavily dependent on imported energy, with Ambani warning that reliance on overseas supplies leaves the country exposed to geopolitical disruptions and price volatility. "India remains dependent on external energy sources for over 70 per cent of our needs. This is not only costly, but it also makes India vulnerable t
