Solar Installed Capacity Surges Over 25 Times: Economic Survey

According to the Economic Survey, India's solar installed capacity has increased more than 25 times from 2014 to 2023. This dramatic growth underscores the country's commitment to enhancing its renewable energy infrastructure and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

In 2014, India's solar capacity was relatively modest, but significant policy support and investments have fueled a rapid expansion. The surge in installations reflects India's strategic push towards meeting its ambitious renewable energy targets and addressing climate change challenges.

The expansion of solar power capacity is a key component of India's broader energy transition strategy, aimed at increasing the share of clean energy in the national grid and improving environmental sustainability. This growth is expected to continue as India accelerates its efforts to meet both domestic and international climate commitments.

The Economic Survey highlights this achievement as a testament to India's progress in renewable energy and its ongoing efforts to build a more sustainable and resilient energy system. The increase in solar capacity not only supports India's green energy goals but also contributes to global efforts to combat climate change.

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. It is turning blueprints into living simulations, managing fleets of machines, and helping engineers make decisions before a single brick is laid. This is not the construction of tomorrow; it is the architecture of today – built on ..
