For years, India has depended on imports of transformer bushings particularly at higher voltage levels. For India to become a global manufacturing hub, the gaps in product design, manufacturing technology must be addressed with a sense of urgency.

The amended FDI policy for investments from countries sharing land borders with India aims to attract capital and technology for critical solar components—such as cells, wafers, and polysilicon—while retaining strategic control of assets with domestic entities. Industry experts say it could accelerate renewable energy infrastructure and manufacturing, but it also carries risks, including pricing pressure, making careful regulatory oversight essential.

Adani Green Energy Ltd commissioned 5,051 MW of renewable energy capacity in the financial year 2025–26, the highest by any company globally in a single year, excluding China.

TrueRE Oriana Power will supply 60,000 tonnes of green ammonia per annum over a period of ten years at a discovered price of INR 52.25 per kg. Madhya Bharat Agro Products Ltd is the end-offtaker, with SECI acting as the intermediary procurer.

Achieving a system cost of $0.65/W through the secondary market and do-it-yourself assembly demonstrates a viable pathway for US plug-in solar to provide immediate utility bill relief to renters and apartment dwellers.

Germany’s Federal Network Agency (Bundesnetzagentur) awarded 155 MW of rooftop PV capacity at an average of €0.0956 ($0.11)/kWh, leaving nearly half of the 283 MW tender volume unallocated.

While the Amendment retains core eligibility thresholds for qualifying as a captive generating plant under Rule 3, it provides clarity on several existing interpretational ambiguities to align it with judicial precedents and contemporary corporate structures.

SOSV-backed Qnetic is aiming to raise $20 million in 2026. Over the next two years it will work with the National Lab of the Rockies and other partners on field testing and validating its technology across multiple use cases.

Pace Digitek Ltd, an integrated provider of telecom infrastructure and energy solutions, has secured the EPC contract for a 200 MW/400 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) from NTPC Ltd. The project is to be implemented at the Nabinagar Super Thermal Power Station in Bihar.

In addition to traditional oil and gas transportation, pipeline technology is evolving to support the future energy mix. As India moves toward greater adoption of cleaner fuels, including natural gas and low-carbon energy systems, pipelines capable of handling new energy vectors will become increasingly important. This shift is encouraging the adoption of specialised pipe solutions designed for higher efficiency, safety, and long-term operational resilience.
