India has ambitious targets. It has set 500 GW RE by 2030 and is now pushing forward for rooftop solar manufacturing. The domestic industry has strengthened; we have developed competencies, efficiencies, and pace.
There are allied issues, however. For instance, dependencies on
India’s unique position, owing to its low-cost renewable resources, provides us with a significant advantage in leading the global green hydrogen momentum while securing our own energy needs. A combination of support measures and demand mandates is essential to transition at
While there’s focus on addressing scope 1 and 2 emissions, we don’t see as much with scope 3. In a way, there isn’t a greater lean on reducing emissions. In fact, if we add global commitments, climate action is further behind. It is through accountability that we can bridge the

The capital intensity of renewables is almost three times more, and hence innovative investment modes are needed to address the energy transition needs of developing countries.
Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) must step in with risk mitigation tools for capital to flow.

@ReNew_Power
is creating for the nation. Makes all the effort of our team worthwhile!
We must all try to transition away from fossil fuel economies. Corporates account for almost 65% of all emissions, and combined with civil society and governments, we need to continuously push for action.
As leaders, we have a responsibility and an opportunity to decouple growth

We need at least a 2 week total lockdown to prevent a big Stage 3 breakout. Preferably even longer. There is no other way. We must also use the time to build a number of temporary hospitals and massively start making ventilators.
