Larsen & Toubro’s renewables business vertical has secured the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the development of a grid-connected 116 MW AC solar PV plant integrated with a 241 MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) in Bihar.

Vikram Solar will supply its n-type high-efficiency pv modules for Bondada Group’s solar project in Maharashtra.

Indian researchers have developed a Sudoku-based technique to reduce power losses in PV systems operating under partial shading. They claim the method increases energy efficiency and revenue generation more than conventional reconfiguration techniques.

NTPC Group companies have issued tenders for the supply of PV modules for a total of 2.5 GW of solar power projects in Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh.

Tata Power’s net profit from renewables business soared 95% YoY to INR 531 crore. Segment-wise, INR 226 crore came from renewable energy generation, INR 198 crore from solar EPC, INR 100 crore from solar manufacturing, and INR 7 crore from other income.

ACME Group will supply 75,000 metric tonnes of green ammonia for a period of ten years to Paradeep Phosphates Ltd, one of India’s largest chemicals and fertilizer companies, at their facility in Paradeep, Odisha.

A recent report by SBICAPS projects that India will add 30 GW of energy storage capacity (battery storage, pumped storage, etc) through standalone and firm and dispatchable renewable energy (FDRE) projects by June 2027. This would bring the country’s total storage capacity to 36 GW—far exceeding the projected demand of around 24 GW, and possibly leading to oversupply.

Independent power producers have captured a significant share of India’s clean energy capital, with projects often backed by substantial financing from institutions like the Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA). Additionally, these have the ability to raise money in a cautious global market because of their capacity to lock up bankable power purchase agreements (PPAs), which provides financial predictability.

Waaree Energies has commenced production at its new 1.8 GW solar module manufacturing facility in Chikhli, located in the Navsari district of Gujarat.

integrating variable renewable energy sources into conventional power systems requires a delicate balance of technology, operational excellence, and regulatory compliance. While AI and ML have become indispensable tools in the modern energy toolkit, they are most effective when paired with on-ground human insight and proactive asset management.
