The global energy transition is entering a new phase where battery storage is emerging as a critical pillar of modern power infrastructure. As renewable energy capacity expands rapidly across the world, the need for flexible and reliable energy storage systems has intensified. From large-scale battery installations in China and Australia...

In 2025, the global wind industry recorded a historic 165 GW of new capacity, marking a 40% year-on-year increase and taking total installed capacity to 1,299 GW across 138 countries. According to the Global Wind Report 2026, onshore wind dominated additions with 155.3 GW (+42%), while offshore installations reached 9.3...

Global energy trends in 2025 reflect a period of transition marked by slower overall demand growth and rapid expansion of clean energy technologies. According to the International Energy Agency’s Global Energy Review, energy consumption increased at a more moderate pace, even as electricity demand continued to grow strongly across sectors....

India’s electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem is entering a defining phase—one marked not just by rapid growth, but by increasing structural depth. In FY26, EV retail sales crossed 24.5 lakh units, reflecting a robust 24.6% year-on-year rise. More importantly, this growth is no longer concentrated in a single category; it is...

As the global energy landscape undergoes a structural transformation—driven by climate commitments, geopolitical uncertainties, and the growing need for energy security—India finds itself navigating a uniquely complex path. As one of the world’s fastest-growing major economies, its energy demand continues to rise steadily, requiring a careful balance between sustainability, affordability,...

India has taken another significant step in advancing the National Green Hydrogen Mission with the notification of new standards for green ammonia and green methanol. Issued by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, the framework establishes lifecycle emission limits and eligibility criteria for these fuels when produced using renewable-energy-based...

India is set to cross a significant energy policy threshold on April 1, 2026. Every litre of petrol sold at the country’s fuel stations will contain up to 20% ethanol — a mandate years in the making that represents the culmination of one of the world’s most ambitious biofuel programmes....

India’s power sector in FY26 has marked an unprecedented phase of expansion and transition, with more than 52 GW added within ten months — the fastest annual capacity growth recorded so far. The country’s total installed capacity now stands at 520,510.95 MW, with non-fossil sources at 271,969.33 MW surpassing fossil...

ACC batteries are set to become the cornerstone of India’s energy transition, with demand projected to surge from about 28 GWh in 2025 to over 700 GWh by the mid-2040s, according to a recent report by the India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA). Under Business-as-Usual and Viksit Bharat scenarios, total battery...

India is pursuing the twin goals of becoming a US$ 30 trillion developed economy by 2047 and achieving net zero emissions by 2070, calling for a fundamentally new low-carbon growth model. A Niti Aayog study estimates that the transition will require US$ 22.7 trillion in investments, or nearly US$ 500...
