India Advances Green Energy Adoption Amid Industrial and Rural Challenges
India's energy landscape is evolving with industries increasingly adopting green power through captive renewable capacity, notably in steel and cement sectors, to reduce reliance on the grid and manage costs. However, small steelmakers face challenges transitioning to cleaner methods due to emissions-intensive coal use and tight margins. Meanwhile, large-scale solar projects expand rapidly, sometimes causing land disputes and livelihood concerns among rural communities. Research institutions like IISc's CeNSE are advancing clean-energy technologies, focusing on scalable solar materials and devices to support India's sustainability goals.
