India is strategically positioning itself for a comprehensive energy transition by focusing on renewable energy sources, smart metering, and the establishment of a hydrogen-based economy. The upcoming budget is seen as a critical platform to propel initiatives aimed at achieving the country's ambitious renewable energy targets. Key areas of focus include strengthening distribution infrastructure, promoting energy storage solutions like pumped hydro projects, boosting domestic manufacturing in the solar sector, and advancing waste-to-energy projects. Additionally, addressing challenges in the rooftop solar sector, promoting electric vehicles through incentives, and exploring India's vast rare earth resources are essential components of India's energy blueprint for 2030. The plan emphasizes the need for a resilient grid, efficient transmission systems, and sustainable energy solutions to meet the rising energy demands fueled by factors such as population growth and technological advancements like Artificial Intelligence.
