India Plans Major Investments to Expand and Secure Its Evolving Energy InfrastructurePreviousNext

India's energy landscape is rapidly evolving, with electricity demand projected to grow significantly due to industrialisation, digital infrastructure, and electric mobility. Investments nearing Rs 50 trillion are expected in renewable and thermal power, battery storage, and grid expansion. Challenges include ensuring reliable transmission, diversifying fuel and mineral supply chains, and accelerating freight electrification. Innovations like zinc-bromine batteries aim to reduce dependence on China’s lithium supply. Policymakers emphasize structural resilience and long-term strategic planning to support this energy transition.
