The missing link in India’s energy transition
While generation capacity from renewables has grown steadily, and commendable strides have been made to reduce the cost of solar PV cells for example, our ability to store, intelligently manage and distribute that energy still remains a massive challenge. This gap isn’t just a technical bottleneck, but also a strategic vulnerability that requires much attention across the entire renewable energy value chain.
