India Aims 80 GW Growth

India is strategically planning to boost its thermal power capacity by adding 80 gigawatts (GW) by 2032, aligning with the escalating energy demands and fostering robust infrastructure. This initiative underscores the nation's commitment to meeting burgeoning electricity needs and enhancing energy security through diversified power sources.

India's power sector envisions a significant expansion, with plans to augment thermal power capacity by a staggering 80 GW within the next decade. This move aims to address the escalating electricity demands driven by rapid industrialization, urbanization, and economic growth. The country is adopting a proactive approach to fortify its energy infrastructure, ensuring a reliable and sustainable power supply.

The proposed augmentation of thermal power capacity aligns with India's broader energy strategy, emphasizing a balanced energy mix to meet diverse needs. Thermal power plays a pivotal role in the country's energy landscape, catering to both industrial and residential sectors. This planned expansion reflects India's commitment to bridging the supply-demand gap and bolstering energy resilience.

Key stakeholders in the power sector are actively collaborating to expedite this ambitious expansion. Government agencies, private enterprises, and investors are joining forces to facilitate the development of new thermal power projects across strategic locations. This collaborative effort underscores a shared vision of enhancing energy accessibility and affordability for all stakeholders.

The envisaged growth in thermal power capacity also underscores India's energy transition journey, leveraging cleaner technologies and sustainable practices. While expanding thermal power infrastructure, the country remains cognizant of environmental concerns, emphasizing the adoption of efficient and eco-friendly solutions.

India's strategic roadmap for thermal power expansion is poised to drive economic growth, foster job creation, and propel innovation in the energy sector. By harnessing thermal power potential responsibly, India aims to achieve energy self-sufficiency, strengthen its position as a regional energy hub, and contribute significantly to global energy sustainability efforts.

Auto Sector Can Cut Emissions by 87% by 2050: CEEW

India’s automobile industry could reduce its manufacturing emissions by 87 per cent by 2050 through a shift to green electricity and low-carbon steel, according to a study released by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW).The report estimates that if original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and their suppliers target net-zero emissions by 2050, annual emissions could fall from a projected 64 million tonnes of CO₂ (under the business-as-usual scenario) to just 9 million tonnes. This would require OEMs to adopt 100 per cent green electricity and steel suppliers to source 56 per ..
