India's widespread use of home inverter batteries, primarily low-voltage lead-acid systems, plays a significant role in managing power demand amid grid instability. These batteries, prevalent across millions of households, provide backup during outages and are now evolving with lithium-ion technology for improved efficiency. Meanwhile, debates continue over installing flue gas desulphurisers (FGDs) in coal power plants, with conflicting studies on their environmental impact causing policy uncertainty.
