The skills gap, not capital, is India’s real green energy bottleneck
The renewable energy sector creates significant employment density—approximately 10 times more workers per MW in solar and 3–4 times more in wind than in conventional power plants. This employment multiplication should be our competitive advantage. However, the skills gap is creating economic inefficiencies that compound across the sector.
