In Short : India’s renewable energy expansion hinges on domestic component production. Local manufacturing of solar panels, wind turbines, and batteries can cut import reliance (currently 70% for solar), create jobs, and reduce costs. While PLI schemes boosted module capacity to 25 GW, cell production lags at 3 GW. Achieving 500 GW by 2030 requires […]
Diversification is the cornerstone of energy security, yet critical minerals are moving in the opposite direction – EQ
In Short : Diversification is vital for energy security, yet the supply of critical minerals is becoming increasingly concentrated. With a few countries dominating production and processing, global reliance on limited sources poses significant risks. This imbalance threatens clean energy transitions and highlights the urgent need to diversify critical mineral supply chains for long-term stability. […]
