Brazilian photovoltaic association ABSolar says solar capacity additions may fall 24% to 10.6 GW in 2026 from 15 GW in 2024, with regulatory barriers, high capital costs, and restricted self‑generation access slowing investment and reducing jobs.

Oswal Pumps has received a Letter of Award from the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd (MSEDCL) for the supply and installation of 13,738 off-grid DC solar PV water pumping systems under the PM-KUSUM Scheme

Smart Joules will use the proceeds to expand its energy-efficiency and cooling operations into newer sectors and larger-scale projects, including manufacturing, building automation, and district cooling, while further strengthening the company’s technology, analytics, and on-ground execution capabilities.

The promise of India’s circular economy lies in its ability to turn environmental challenges into engines of growth. Achieving it will take investment, innovation, and clear ways to measure progress.

As smart grid tech is rolled out around the world to modernize legacy assets and integrate renewable energy generation, it is also making the electricity network more prone to cyber attacks. IEC Standards provide protection but they also are challenged to keep up with the latest threats.

Avaada Group has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with GRIDCO and IIT-Bhubaneswar to establish a state-of-the-art Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Odisha focused on integrated research, innovation, and technology development in green hydrogen.

If India solves demand creation intelligently, it can become a global price-setter, not just another participant in the hydrogen economy.

Indian steelmakers have begun adopting green hydrogen, but this option should become an even greater priority for the country as metallurgical coal supply risks intensify.

Waaree Energies has achieved an aggregate solar module manufacturing capacity of around 22.3 GW globally, comprising 19.7 GW in India and 2.6 GW in the United States, following a recent 1.5 GW expansion at its Samakhiali facility in Kutch, Gujarat.

Trina Solar and Holosolis signed a strategic cooperation agreement at the recent France–China summit, consolidating the Chinese manufacturer’s role as a key partner in a plan to manufacture 5 GW of solar cells and panels a year.

A new analysis from energy think tank Ember shows that the cost of storing electricity with utility-scale batteries has fallen to just $65/MWh as of October 2025 outside China and the US, making it economically feasible to deliver solar power when it is needed.

Sunwafe says it has formally applied to reserve land in Asturias, Spain, for a 20 GW silicon wafer and ingot factory backed by Chinese capital, EIT InnoEnergy, and a €200 million ($232.6 million) Spanish government grant.

In response to the growing demand for solutions for low load-bearing roofs, Chinese manufacturer DMEGC is presenting an IEC-certified lightweight 460 W module at France’s largest PV trade show – EnerGaïa.

THDC India Ltd., a subsidiary of NTPC Ltd., has commissioned Unit-3 (250 MW) of its 1 GW (4×250 MW) variable-speed pumped storage hydropower project in Uttarakhand.

Agratas, the global battery business of the Tata Group, is rapidly advancing the construction work for its battery manufacturing facility in Sanand, Gujarat. This facility will have a planned annual capacity of 20 GWh in its first phase.

Trontek has entered the residential energy storage market with the launch of Powercube 1.4 kWh and Powercube 2.7 kWh lithium-ion battery storage systems that support both solar and grid charging.

Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP), part of BlackRock, is set to invest INR 3,000 crore for a minority stake in Aditya Birla Renewables, a commercial and industrial (C&I)-focused renewable energy platform under the Aditya Birla Group, with a pan-India portfolio of 4.3 GW.

MaxVolt Energy is set to triple its lithium battery pack production capacity from 72,000 units per annum to 2.25 lakh units annually with the addition of a new 55,000 sq. ft. facility in Duhai, Ghaziabad.

As adoption accelerates, the critical question is no longer simply how much solar capacity can be installed, but how clean and sustainable the manufacturing process behind it truly is. Heterojunction Technology (HJT) has become one of the most compelling answers to that challenge.

India’s renewable capacity target represents necessary but sufficient progress toward climate stabilization. Delhi’s pollution demonstrates that energy supply-side transformation alone cannot deliver intended outcomes. Transport emissions, industrial activity, and residential heating must undergo equal transformation.

In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.

Gujarat’s leadership in renewable deployment is now extending into the field of solar plus storage, with direct implications for industrial power users. Large grid connected projects in Kutch, storage additions at hybrid sites, and new battery initiatives aimed at supplying industries with on-demand renewable energy are all early examples of how solar and storage can work together in practice. 

India’s energy transition is not about a single breakthrough but about steady steps across multiple fronts. Ethanol has shown how supportive policy and the right technologies can deliver both farmer security and fuel stability. BioCNG can turn waste into a resource, helping both cities and villages. Hydrogen, though still in its early stages, is slowly laying the foundations of a long-term clean energy system.
