Enrich Energy has secured EPC contract, including land package, for a 300 MW grid-connected solar project to be developed at NTPC Anta, Rajasthan.

While policy discussions focus on solar tariffs and farmer incentives, we see a different challenge emerging on the factory floor: Infrastructure Redefinition. The humble transformer is being asked to do things it was never originally designed to do.

Indian solar manufacturer Premier Energies has completed the acquisition of 104,550 equity shares of HeliosAnthos Energies, securing 51% of the company’s paid-up equity share capital. HeliosAnthos Energies is a joint venture between Premier Energies and BA Prerna Renewables, formed to expand Premier’s presence in the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) segment of renewable energy projects.

Oswal Pumps has announced that its subsidiary, Oswal Solar Energy, has secured an order to install 7.46 MWp of grid-connected rooftop solar systems for 3,729 consumers under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana.

Bondada Engineering Ltd has commissioned 61.7 MWp of solar projects for clients including Paradigm IT and Maharashtra State Power Generation Company Ltd (MAHAGENCO) in March.

India Ratings and Research (Ind-Ra) said the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy’s decision to treat commissioning delays arising from the Supreme Court’s ongoing proceedings in the Great Indian Bustard (GIB) matter as a force majeure‑like event provides material relief to developers of approximately 8.6 GW of renewable capacity.

India installed around 37.8 GW of solar capacity in CY2025. This comprised about 28.6 GW of new utility-scale solar, a 54.6% increase from 2024, and 7.9 GW of rooftop solar, up 72% year on year. Off-grid additions stood at 1.35 GW, compared to 1.48 GW in 2024.

Swedish researchers developed two novel single-axis solar tracking strategies that dynamically adjust panel tilt based on crop light requirements, balancing photosynthesis and energy production. One strategy prioritizes daily light integral targets before shifting to energy capture, while the other uses the light-response curve to optimize photosynthesis, offering improved dual-use efficiency compared with conventional tracking methods.

Residential consumers accounted for 76% of rooftop solar capacity additions in 2025, driven by the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana program.

SolarPower Europe has released new technical due diligence guidelines for utility-scale solar-plus-storage projects, covering risk, engineering and lifecycle standards for co-located PV and battery systems.
