The role of advanced switchgear and high-voltage infrastructure in reducing transmission losses
Energy transition is not only generating cleaner power, it is about efficient delivery. In this reckoning, advanced switchgear and high- voltage infrastructure are not just supporting components, they are indeed core enablers of grid performance, notes Keyur Shah.
A roadmap to strategic fixes for BESS supply and PSP builds
- Jan 29, 2026
India’s renewable energy push to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030 is entering a decisive execution phase. As renewable penetration accelerates, grid stability has emerged as the binding constraint, rather than generation capacity. Energy Storage Systems (ESS) are no longer optional enablers, but core grid infrastructure critical to managing intermittency, peak demand volatility, and renewable curtailment, notes A.K. Tyagi.
Green Jobs: Transmission & Distribution Skills for Employability
- Jan 13, 2026
As India speeds ahead towards a future focused on sustainability and clean energy, the emergence of green jobs provides a historic opportunity to harness and develop its workforce. One area of promise within this transformation is the power transmission & distribution (T&D) sector, which is essential in terms of integrating renewable energy and modernising the grid itself. With a focus on skills and training, the T&D sector can be a major source of quality, future-ready jobs, notes Nawin Chandra.
Underground Cabling: Strengthening India’s power infrastructure for a resilient future
- Dec 22, 2025
As India’s power sector moves towards 2026, underground cabling is set to become an increasingly important part of distribution and transmission networks, notes Kurang Panchal.
Why 2025 changed the way India looks at transmission
- Dec 20, 2025
If there is one honest way to describe 2025 for India’s power sector, it is this: the year forced us to confront our weakest link, notes Arun Sharma.
What’s Next for India’s Solar Supply Chain
- Dec 17, 2025
India’s solar revolution is entering a new phase. Domestic manufacturing, anchored in the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat, is no longer just about adding gigawatts of capacity it is about building a resilient ecosystem that also powers both India’s homes and farms through solar rooftop systems and solar water pumps. This transition is not only an industrial opportunity but a nation building project that touches every village, town and city, notes Ramakrishna Sataluri.
HVDC Supply Chains Under Pressure: Can India Lead the Next Global Wave?
- Dec 4, 2025
India’s renewable energy ambitions cannot be achieved without a strong HVDC backbone. The looming global supply crunch is both a warning and an opportunity for India to groom into an active manufacturer and technology developer, notes Simarpreet Singh.
Measuring what matters: Understanding industrial energy efficiency
- Nov 25, 2025
In May 2025, ABB set a new benchmark in industrial energy efficiency by surpassing its own world record for efficiency in large synchronous electric motors. Developed under ABB’s Top Industrial Efficiency (TIE) program, the new 56MW motor – destined for a major steel producer in India achieved a verified 99.13% efficiency under IEC testing standards. David Bjerhag, Global Business Line Manager, High Speed Synchronous Motors at ABB Motion High Power, explains the concept of energy efficiency and the methods used to measure it.
BESS can fuel India’s clean energy innovation
- Nov 20, 2025
The Indian government is supporting the manufacturing and deployment of battery energy storage systems (BESS) with favourable regulations. New rules, subsidies, and incentives are encouraging more investment into battery storage which helps bring the costs down and speeds up its adoption, notes Abhinandan Sethi.
Building Nimble Smart Grids: The Rising Role of Energy Storage and Batteries
- Nov 4, 2025
India is on the verge of a radical transformation in energy storage as it embraces a new paradigm of energy storage use. Though role batteries will play a big role in developing a clean, decarbonised grid, considerable challenges lie ahead, notes Vikram Gandotra.
