The next phase of green growth will depend on how quickly capital reaches businesses that are ready to modernize, become energy-efficient, and invest in cleaner production systems. The question is no longer whether sustainable lending will grow, it is how fast we can remove the barriers preventing it from scaling.

Hyderabad-based startup Xbattery has launched a 5 kWh scalable energy storage system (ESS) for homes and small offices. The lithium iron phosphate (LFP)-based system can be scaled up to 15 kWh by adding additional battery units.

Enerparc has announced the launch of Enerparc Power Trading Pvt Ltd, expanding its presence in India beyond renewable energy generation to power trading and market access segment. 

The U.S. Department of Commerce has issued preliminary findings that solar manufacturers in India, Indonesia and Laos benefited from government subsidies, paving the way for countervailing duties of up to 143.30%.

IEEFA states that bridging the INR 10.3 lakh crore investment gap over the next five years will require moving beyond traditional subsidy-led approaches toward structural risk-sharing mechanisms that lower the cost of credit and attract private capital in the electric mobility sector.

Vikram Solar has secured an order to supply 378.75 MW of n-type TOPCon solar modules for a project developed by Indian Oil NTPC Green Energy Pvt Ltd (INGEL), a joint venture between Indian Oil Corp. Ltd and NTPC Green Energy Ltd.

New rules from Mexico’s Secretaría de Energía require battery energy storage systems (BESS) to submit social impact assessments for the first time, with stricter obligations above 250 MWh.

Solar module prices increased by €0.01 ($ 0.012)/W to €0.015/W in February, lifting levels 15% to 18% above the December 2024 low despite falling wafer costs, as manufacturers seek to restore margins after prolonged losses.

Waaree Clean Energy Solutions will deploy, own and operate alkaline electrolyzer stacks for Zero Footprint Industries Ltd’s decentralized green hydrogen projects across northern India over the next five years. The renewable-powered hydrogen produced will support decarbonization of process industries and inland transport applications.

Rooftop solar is moving from being a supplementary solution to becoming a central component of India’s energy architecture. The next phase of growth will not be defined by panel installations alone but by how effectively generation is integrated with storage, digital intelligence, and grid infrastructure.
