ADB Commends India’s Green Transition

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has praised India’s efforts to reduce subsidies on fossil fuels to foster the growth of green energy. In line with its commitment to decarbonization and achieving net-zero emissions, India has strategically reduced financial support for fossil fuel consumption.

This shift is intended to redirect resources toward renewable energy initiatives, making clean energy more competitive and accessible. The ADB highlighted India’s policy shift as a model for emerging economies, encouraging others to reprioritize financial support toward sustainable alternatives.

With a robust renewable energy target, India is focusing on solar, wind, and green hydrogen projects, backed by policy reforms and funding incentives. These efforts are expected to accelerate the adoption of cleaner technologies and promote energy efficiency, underscoring India’s leadership in transitioning to a low-carbon economy.

The ADB’s endorsement reflects the international community’s recognition of India’s proactive stance in addressing climate change challenges through actionable policies and investments.

Creativity is for Humans, Productivity is for Robots!

On most construction sites, the rhythm of progress is measured by the clang of steel, the hum of machinery and the sweat of thousands. But increasingly, new sounds are entering the mix: the quiet efficiency of algorithms, the hum of drones overhead, and the precision of robotic arms at work. Behind the concrete and cables, an invisible force is taking hold: data.
