As we mark World Earth Day, India’s energy transition stands as a powerful example of climate action: Ayush Patodia, Associate Vice President, Avalon Consulting

By 2030, nearly 64% of the country's total power capacity is expected to come from non-fossil fuel sources, led by solar, wind, and large hydro. As solar and wind scale up, the need for robust energy storage becomes critical. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are expected to grow from just 0.11 GW today to 3.9 GW by 2030, creating vast opportunities for Indian manufacturers, particularly in chemicals, materials, and technology solutions essential for a greener future.
