Green agenda of Modi 3.0

With the elections wrapped up, there is now scope to dynamically balance multiple objectives in achieving net-zero by 2070

'Affordable' electric air taxis

They may not only be greener than battery-powered cars but also have the potential to upend the real estate market

Solar manufacturing challenge

Local manufacturing is being pushed through a combination of incentives for manufacturing and disincentives for imports

The greening of flights

More airlines are embracing SAF, which has triggered a spurt in production, but its high cost remains a challenge

A self-driving car ride

Autonomous vehicles are not just the future but a present reality

The one-in-five achievement

From every fifth car sold this year expected to be electric to the rise of robotrucks, the landscape of sustainable technologies is evolving rapidly

The fossil fuel dilemma

Pandemic recovery, energy security, and profitability are fuelling demand, with China and India spearheading coal production growth

Climate finance and advances in solar technology will shape the future of the energy industry

High noon for clean power

Companies are buying green energy like never before, with India setting new records

The buzz in clean energy

Renewable energy is experiencing a global surge, and India is among the five nations at the forefront of this change

National decarbonisation goals are driving a global race in near-shoring, on-shoring and friend-shoring of production, with India actively joining this dynamic landscape

EV market surprises

Tesla has had a win in the EV charging market, but new entrants could redefine the landscape

Game-changing moves in green economy

Of the $2.8 trillion expected to be invested globally in energy this year, clean technologies will likely absorb more than $1.7 trillion

Global green growth conundrum

Green growth is the overarching theme across the world and India is no exception, but the trend towards deglobalisation is throwing a spanner in the works

Energy transition in numbers

It is a mixed bag for clean tech in 2023. The number of charging stations and solar installations are set to rise, but higher battery prices could delay EV adoption

Net zero transition for $7 trillion

The world's decarbonisation journey will trigger a massive demand for investments

Blurred energy nirvana: The world is fast turning green

Even though coal is back on the table, renewable energy is growing strongly
