EV is the most talked about topic in the energy industry today, because two energy sectors are involved - electric supply and oil and gas. On the supply ecosystem, the government is working on a policy as to who should be responsible for setting up the charging infrastructure.

Pushed by factors like declining tariffs and higher costs, significant changes have happened over the past decade in the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) sector pertaining to the solar power industry, says Sunil Rathi, Director, Waaree Energies.

With the regulatory landscape for automotive industry transforming globally, India is incentivising the shift to electric mobility.

KBL is known for its flexible business approach with the ability and tenacity to adapt to changing market scenarios and needs.

The growth of DG sets would be driven by higher volumes in the mid- or high-horse power (HP) segment with the revival of key markets such as infrastructure, commercial and manufacturing.

The government's thrust in the last couple of years has been on renewables, and India has done quite well in strengthening this portfolio, especially in solar power.

India is steadily moving to the ambitious target of 175 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by 2022 or even earlier. Total contribution from solar is tasked at 100 GW, out of which 40 GW is expected to be roof top solar, rest being grid connected.

India's power sector is in a catch-22 situation. A sound analysis of the power sector affirms that the sector is in the ICU where 78,000 MW of projects are under stress; and approximately Rs 1,200 billion worth unviable projects and PPAs are signed for a mere 7,000 MW.

While the central and state governments have done a (good÷ job with regard to rooftop solar policies, there are some specific changes to the net metering rules and plant size specifications that can accelerate adoption.
