Description
Description | India's energy investment is set to reach USD 170 billion in 2026, driven by rapid expansion in solar power and grid modernisation to support rising renewable penetration. Solar and wind now account for more than half of India's installed generation capacity, necessitating transmission upgrades and storage systems to manage intermittency and avoid renewable curtailment. The government's Green Energy Corridor programme has added more than 3,000 km of transmission lines, with additional phases under development. |
