The Breakout Moment: India Doubles Down on Renewables With Historic 20.1 GW Addition

Leave a Comment / Renewable Energy /

Twenty gigawatts in five months—a figure so staggering it demands repetition. Between April and August 2025, India commissioned more renewable energy capacity than many developed nations possess in total, more than doubling the previous year’s additions and shattering every projection analysts dared to make. This is not incremental progress but a breakout moment, where favourable […]

The Momentum Paradox: India’s Renewable Surge Stumbles Just When It Matters Most

Leave a Comment / Renewable Energy /

For a decade, India’s renewable energy trajectory appeared unstoppable—record solar parks materialising across desert landscapes, aggressive auction targets routinely exceeded, and international acclaim for climate leadership positioning the country as a clean energy exemplar. Then the momentum faltered. Project awards that once numbered in the tens of gigawatts annually have slowed to a trickle, tenders

The Ambition Is Set, but Can India’s Grid Handle It? Renewables Race Towards 35% by 2030

Leave a Comment / Renewable Energy /

The targets look magnificent on paper—renewables generating over thirty-five per cent of India’s electricity by fiscal year 2030, a transformation from climate laggard to clean energy exemplar within a single decade. Yet beneath the soaring capacity projections and ministerial announcements lies a more prosaic reality: thousands of megawatts of awarded renewable projects languish unsigned, awaiting

Sanctions Create Opportunity: India’s Pharmaceutical Pivot Towards Russia’s Isolated Market

Leave a Comment / Pharma /

Western sanctions were meant to isolate Russia—instead, they’ve opened the door for India. While European and American pharmaceutical companies retreat from the Russian market under pressure from their governments, Indian manufacturers are advancing, negotiating joint ventures, planning production facilities, and positioning themselves as the primary suppliers to a nation desperate for pharmaceutical self-sufficiency. Russia already

The Localisation Trap: Why India’s Electric Vehicle Boom Hides a Supply Chain Crisis

Leave a Comment / EV /

India sells forty-six different electric vehicle models—yet only six qualify for government manufacturing incentives. This jarring statistic exposes the uncomfortable truth beneath India’s electric vehicle success story: the country is assembling, not manufacturing, its clean mobility revolution. Showrooms brim with electric offerings from Hyundai, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Tesla, and MG Motor, but scratch beneath the paintwork

Beyond the Subsidy Era: India’s Blueprint for a Self-Sustaining Electric Mobility Ecosystem

Leave a Comment / EV /

The subsidies worked—but their time is up. India’s FAME schemes delivered precisely what they promised: over 1.8 million electric vehicles on the road, thousands of public chargers dotting city landscapes, and a population no longer puzzled by battery-powered transport. Mission accomplished. Yet as FAME II closes its books and PM E-DRIVE takes the baton until

India’s EV Revolution: From Incentive-Led Growth to Infrastructure-Driven Transformation

Leave a Comment / EV /

The days of cheque-book environmentalism are numbered. For half a decade, India’s electric vehicle market thrived on government handouts and early adopter zeal—consumers queued for subsidies, manufacturers chased incentives, and policymakers celebrated rising sales figures. But as 2026 approaches, that script is being torn up. The country is pivoting from a subsidy-dependent model to something

Picture a world where a simple cut becomes life-threatening, where routine surgeries carry mortality risks comparable to the pre-antibiotic era, and where pneumonia transforms from a treatable illness to a potential death sentence. This isn’t dystopian fiction—it’s the looming reality of antimicrobial resistance, a silent pandemic eroding the foundations of modern medicine. Bacteria, viruses, and
