What’s Next for India’s Solar Supply Chain
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.
CCUS Adoption: How prepared are the petrochemical, green hydrogen, and coal gasification industries
- Oct 7, 2025
Carbon Capture, Utilisation, and Storage (CCUS) technology is critical, especially in industries such as green hydrogen, petrochemicals, and coal gasification, which are structurally carbon-intensive and cannot be fully decarbonised without CCUS. Charan Shriyan discusses the extent of preparedness of these critical industries in CCUS adoption.
Scaling India’s solar ambitions with intelligent tracker infrastructure
- Oct 4, 2025
As India accelerates toward its 2030 non-fossil energy goals, the success of its solar sector will depend not only on how many gigawatts are deployed, but how well these assets perform under pressure – be it weather, wear or time. Solar trackers are helping answer that challenge with intelligence, agility and resilience, notes Mayank Mishra.
Powering a Sustainable Future with Next-Gen Technologies
- Sep 24, 2025
We face a world of intensifying climate change, population growth, resource shortages and other issues that increasingly threaten the future of humanity. They can only be overcome if government, society and individuals all make greater efforts than ever before. This is also true for companies, notes Mr. Shuichi Ito, while discussing how Toshiba Group is leveraging its 150-year old legacy to help realize a sustainable society.
Revolutionizing switching and protection through semiconductor technology
- Sep 9, 2025
For the first time ever, we have replaced electromechanical switching with innovative semiconductor technology that has no moving parts, in a practical and cost-effective manner, notes Andreas Matthé.
Gas Insulated Substations: The Future of Urban Energy-Space Equation
- Jul 19, 2025
As the world’s cities continue to grow vertically and horizontally, the demand for uninterrupted, high-voltage power supply is becoming increasingly non-negotiable. With rising urban density and space constraints, traditional power infrastructure solutions are proving inadequate. This is where Gas Insulated Substations (GIS) have emerged as a game-changing innovation, redefining the landscape of electrical infrastructure in urban settings, notes Raghavendra Mirji.
