Clean energy subsidies for renewable energy and electric vehicles (EVs) represent only 10% of India’s total energy subsidies. Though gradually expanding, these remain vulnerable to global oil price shocks due to structural fiscal dependence on oil and gas revenues. 

Jakson Infra has secured a contract from the Ministry of Energy & Water, Angola, for the engineering, procurement, installation, and commissioning of power distribution network systems, aimed at improving electricity reliability and access across the Angolan capital.

Solar set a new generation record on Great Britain’s electricity grid during a week that also saw zero-carbon supply reach an all-time high. The new records come as the grid operator expands demand-side flexibility markets in anticipation of lower summer demand driven by strong solar irradiance.

Longi claims to have achieved the world’s highest efficiency for a silicon solar cell. The result was confirmed by Germany’s Institute for Solar Energy Research Hamelin (ISFH).

Emmvee Photovoltaic Power, an integrated solar PV cell and module manufacturer, has reported revenue from operations of INR 5,050 crore for FY2026, up 116% year on year. Profit after tax (PAT) rose 193% to INR 1,082 crore.

The two companies announced a 60 GWh supply agreement on Monday, marking a pivotal step in the commercialization of sodium-ion battery technology.

The Solar Energy Corp. of India (SECI) has invited proposals to set up interstate transmission system (ISTS)-connected renewable energy projects for assured peak supply of 1,500 MWh (500 MW × 3 hours) under a Contract for Difference (CfD) mechanism.

A new report from the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) highlights a widening gap between the headline climate commitments made by India’s major steel companies and their actual progress in building the operational, technological, and financial infrastructure required to meet their decarbonisation ambitions. This gap risks locking in emissions-intensive technologies for decades, slowing progress towards net zero and undermining the sector’s long-term competitiveness.

AMPIN Energy Transition has commissioned a 60 MWp group captive open access solar project in Kantabanji, marking Odisha’s first such installation under the Odisha Renewable Energy Policy 2022.

The four-terminal tandem device relies on FAPbI₃ nanoparticles and a spectral splitting design, combining a 24.4% wide-bandgap top cell and a 21.5% narrow-bandgap bottom cell to reach 30.2% efficiency. The system improves light utilization by directing different wavelengths to optimized subcells.
