The critical role of IPPs in driving 250 GW of new energy
At a time when many countries struggle with energy nationalism and policy flip-flops, India’s independent power producer (IPP)-driven model offers a decentralised, market-based, and scalable solution to clean energy growth. Their role in catalysing 250 GW of new capacity by 2030 will be central to India’s climate pledges under the Paris Agreement and its goal of net-zero emissions by 2070.
