Radiative cooling is an emerging technology that holds the potential to enhance the performance and longevity of PV modules. Researchers from the Institute of Nanotechnology of Lyon explain how this technology may reach commercial maturity.

A multi-pronged policy mix has been adopted by the government to promote solar adoption. In the Budget 2024-25, a corpus of INR 10,000 crore was allocated to promote the solar industry, a 110% increase from the previous year. Solar manufacturing equipment have been exempt from the basic customs duty list to boost domestic manufacturing. In contrast, there is a 10% customs duty on the import of solar glass as we currently have enough capacity to meet all our domestic requirements.

Transitioning the steel industry to green hydrogen will be a complex journey, but the groundwork is already being laid. India’s pilot projects, along with sustained investment in renewable energy and hydrogen infrastructure, create a strong foundation for a cleaner future.
