India Advances Renewable Energy and Coal Gasification Amid Import Challenges
India is advancing its energy sector with significant investments in renewable energy and coal gasification. Union Minister Pralhad Joshi announced fresh renewable investments worth ₹43,871 crore and the upcoming PM-KUSUM 2.0 scheme to promote solar-powered agricultural equipment. Concurrently, a government-backed ₹37,500 crore coal gasification program aims to reduce import dependence by focusing on hydrogen and synthetic natural gas. However, challenges include low uptake of coal gasification projects and rising soda ash imports threatening domestic clean energy manufacturing supply chains.
