Towards the Grid of the Future
New technologies drive traditional utilities to redefine traditional approaches to operations. While micro-grids and other Distributed Energy Resources (DER) play a significant role in lighting up India's rural communities, supporting initiatives such as Saubhagya also play a valuable part in the development of India's smart grid of the future.

Insufficient gas infrastructure suppressing demand
India´s demand for stranded assets and for those with potential to displace other liquids has been assessed by agencies to be about 500 MMSCMD. However, these projections are modest, when the potential of gas availability to bring to fore the latent demands is factored in. Up to 800 MMSCMD gas can be estimated in supply unconstrained scenario.

Hydro power yet to take off
With increasing demand for electricity and rising gap between the demand and supply situation in India, there is an urgent need to tap all possible energy resources. Hydropower leads the list for various reasons.
