12 Nov 2025 CW Team

ReNew Energy Global Plc has secured debt financing for its upcoming 837 MWp wind-solar hybrid project, which includes a battery energy storage system (BESS), marking a key step forward in India’s renewable energy expansion.

The financing package, arranged with support from a consortium of domestic and international lenders, will fund the construction and operation of the hybrid facility designed to deliver round-the-clock renewable power. The initiative reflects ReNew’s strategic focus on integrating renewable generation with advanced storage technologies to improve grid stability and reliability.

Located across major renewable energy zones in India, the project will combine both solar and wind resources, supported by an advanced BESS to ensure consistent power supply even during periods of variable generation. Once operational, the hybrid complex will make a significant contribution to India’s renewable energy goals, aligning with the government’s ambition to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based capacity by 2030.

According to ReNew, the successful financing demonstrates strong investor confidence in India’s renewable energy sector and reinforces the company’s leadership in developing innovative clean energy solutions. The project aims to enhance grid efficiency, set benchmarks for large-scale hybrid systems, and accelerate India’s shift towards sustainable and resilient power infrastructure.

This development builds on ReNew’s growing portfolio of hybrid and storage-based projects, positioning the company as a frontrunner in integrating diverse renewable technologies to meet the nation’s energy transition objectives.

Govt To Roll Out V2V Tech To Cut Road Crashes

In an effort to curb road accidents, particularly in low-visibility conditions such as dense fog, the government is set to roll out vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communication technology that will allow cars to exchange real-time data and alert drivers to potential dangers. The announcement was made by Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari after the 43rd meeting of the Transport Development Council. The technology involves installing an on-board unit (OBU) in vehicles, enabling wireless data exchange between nearby cars. This will allow vehicles to share information such as spee..
