Waaree Clean Energy Solutions, a wholly owned subsidiary of Waaree Energies Ltd, has secured an order to develop a multi-technology green hydrogen project at the facility of TMEIC Industrial Systems India in Tumkur, Karnataka.

JSW Energy has commissioned 250 MW of renewable energy capacity since April 2026, comprising 130 MW of wind, 69.4 MW of solar, and the 50 MW Tidong Hydro Plant. With this addition, its total installed power generation capacity has reached 13.7 GW.

Siemens Energy India Ltd has reported a revenue from operations of INR 2,394 crore for the quarter ended March 2026, marking a 27.4% year-on-year increase from INR 1,880 crore in the corresponding quarter of FY 2025. Profit after tax increased 52.4% YoY to INR 375 crore.

Through this asset purchase, Inox Clean gains an operational capacity of 3 GW of TOPCon solar module manufacturing in the United States, positioning it in line with the “Make in America, For America” initiative.

One of the key drivers behind the record solar capacity additions in Q1 2026 was the upcoming implementation of ALMM List-II from June 2026. The policy deadline prompted developers to accelerate project commissioning under the existing procurement framework amid concerns over limited domestic DCR cell availability and rising module procurement costs, according to Mercom.

Tata Power Renewable Energy Ltd (TPREL) has implemented a 50 kWp rooftop solar installation at Hotel Barath in Leh, marking the first commercial rooftop solar project in the Union Territory of Ladakh.

Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) has invited bids for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of a 200 MW DC (160 MW AC) solar power project integrated with a battery energy storage system (BESS) in Rajasthan.

Ratul Puri, Chairman of Hindustan Power, speaks to pv magazine about the key challenges in scaling renewable energy deployment, the growing role of battery storage and carbon markets, and Hindustan Power’s strategy in supporting India’s clean energy transition.

One of the biggest constraints in the hydrogen economy today is the lack of transport infrastructure. Moving hydrogen remains expensive and logistically complex without pipelines.

Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi highlighted that renewable energy is becoming a critical determinant of competitiveness in key industrial sectors such as steel, aluminium, chemicals, automotive and textiles. He emphasised the importance of emerging areas including green hydrogen, battery storage, pumped hydro, offshore wind and round-the-clock renewable energy solutions in the next phase of growth.
