Power, Energy & Renewables

India's power and energy sector is central to its development ambitions, encompassing conventional generation, renewable energy, and grid infrastructure under the Ministry of Power and Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). The government's policy direction is anchored in the National Electricity Plan 2023, PM-KUSUM, the Green Hydrogen Mission, and aggressive renewable capacity targets to meet both domestic demand and climate commitments. India is the world's third-largest energy consumer and aims to achieve net-zero emissions by 2070 while decarbonising its electricity mix.
