The submersible is set to take three Indians into deep sea in 2026
For India, the use of fossil fuel cannot be wished away in a hurry, while the strategy should be to expedite RE investment
India’s battery energy storage capacity is expected to be about 47 GW, against the current capacity of about 300 MW, the report said.
March 22 is World Water Day. It’s an occasion to take a close look at water, a resource that is relatively scarce in India, which is classified as “water stressed”. As the economy grows and per capita incomes rise, water availability will have to increase. The way out is dust off old plans such as interlinking of rivers and use technological solutions to reuse water. Implementing them well is a prerequisite to be a developed nation
The proposed green hydrogen hub in Mundra will require 22 GW renewable energy, followed by the proposed hub at Kandla port. In total, Gujarat alone would require 32.3 GW of renewable electricity for its green hydrogen hubs, according to the National Electricity Plan.
Adaptation strategies by way of heat action plans for urban areas and heat-proof housing for rural areas must be actively pursued
Sea level of the Indian Ocean is going up by 1.7 mm a year, while the north Indian Ocean is rising at an even faster rate of 3.3 mm a year, the Union minister for Earth Sciences has said
Reliance Group is the only company that has won incentives under the National Green Hydrogen Mission in both the tranches for green hydrogen production.
The central bank, the market regulator, and the finance ministry must work in tandem to make money available to curb emissions
With an outlay of Rs 20,000 crore, the government aims to achieve a nuclear power generation capacity of 100 GW by 2047.
Action needs to be backed by money to make an impact but with Western commitments in doubt, it falls upon the government to step in to bridge the gap
If India manages only 400 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030, it could face power shortage and need additional 10-16 GW of coal capacity, the Council on Energy, Environment and Water study has said
For now, the government may focus on wafers and ingots while allowing polysilicon to be imported, as India doesn’t have the capacity to produce the ultra-refined material
Finance minister Nirmala Sitharaman in her Budget for FY26 announced a National Nuclear Energy Mission, calling for private participation in the nuclear power sector
The government will soon announce emissions intensity trajectory for nine 'hard-to-abate' sectors, which will have to be achieved in a staggered manner
This will be the first time in more than three years when the government will not impose such a mandate on domestic coal based power plants. The coal ministry has enough stock for power plants
US government scientists participating in the IPCC’s global assessments were issued a stop-work order from the Trump administration
Coal-fired power is going to continue to do the heavy lifting by meeting 70-74% of the peak demand this summer. Like last year, the government plans to use state-run gas-based plants too, for which it has issued a tender to procure 1,800 MW of gas-based power. Besides, coal stocks at thermal power plants are at 51 million tons that would last for more than 21 days.
Hours after taking oath as Delhi’s chief minister and before her first cabinet meeting, Rekha Gupta headed to a Yamuna ghat to perform an 'aarti' with her cabinet colleagues, sending a clear signal that rejuvenating the toxic river will be a top priority for the BJP. The party has come to power in the national capital after 27 years.
The current trajectory towards a 2.4°C rise calls for urgent action, particularly in climate finance, technology, and policy coordination. Differentiated solutions, like tailored solar roadmaps for diverse economies, and strategic collaborations are essential to drive equitable global energy transitions, ensuring no nation is left behind.
Post Modi-Trump meet, India and the US will work towards a more detailed bilateral agreement for nuclear reactors, after the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act (CLNDA) is amended in the Parliament, senior government officials told Moneycontrol.
Unlike BESS, compressed CO2 energy storage systems do not need critical minerals such as lithium and cobalt. CESS uses only water, steel, and CO2. They also have a long life of at least 25 years.
India can address water challenges through public-private partnerships and innovation, ensuring sustainable and equitable water systems for future generations with collaborative efforts
Raj Kumar Chaudhary, CMD, NHPC Ltd told Moneycontrol that other than its operational hydropower capacity of 6,571 MW, the company has an additional 9,314 MW of hydro capacities under construction.
Moneycontrol wrote on January 22 that the Budget will increase the allocation for the PM Surya Ghar scheme to ensure its faster implementation to meet renewable energy targets
