EDITOR NOTE
India’s future green hydrogen and
green
ammonia
production
is
projected to need as much as 70.5
gigawatt (GW) of green electricity
by 2031-32, enough to power over a
crore household for a month,
prompting the Ministry of New and
Renewable Energy to explore ways
to ensure round-the-clock supply of
green power to support the Green
Hydrogen Mission.
Hydrogen or ammonia is catego-
rised as ‘green’ only if its produc-
tion is powered via renewable
energy (RE), implying the entire
electricity requirement of 70.5 GW
will have to be met through RE for
it to be considered green. While this
is lower than the required 125 GW
of RE projected during the launch
of the National Green Hydrogen
Mission (NGHM), it is still daunt-
ing enough to have compelled the
Ministry of New and Renewable
Energy
to
reassess
and
find
round-the-clock green power while
at the same time ensuring grid
stability.
To put this into context, 70.5 GW
electricity could power more than
one crore households in India for a
month, given that the average power
consumption for a house range from
150-300 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per
month. Besides, India’s peak power
demand alone is expected to hit 388
GW by 2031-32, for which the
country would need a power genera-
tion capacity of 997 GW. Of this
997 GW, electricity from clean
sources is expected to contribute
500 GW.
State-owned
Nuclear
Power
Corporation of India (NPCIL), the
only enterprise that builds and oper-
ates nuclear power plants in India,
plans to invest at least Rs 6.6 lakh
crore to build 50 gigawatts (GW)
nuclear power capacity, which is
half of the projected 100 GW capac-
ity aimed by 2047. In the near term,
the public sector enterprise under
the Department of Atomic Energy
has plans to invest at least Rs 2.7
lakh crore to build 22 GW worth
capacity by 2032.
The chairman and managing direc-
tor of NPCIL said the company’s
workforce
of
11,000
will
be
increased manifold in the coming
years, and recruitment for 2,000
posts
are
currently
underway.
Pathak called upon India’s youth to
join NPCIL to contribute to the
National Nuclear Energy Mission,
announced in the Union Budget this
year.
Pathak said due to the sensitivity
and safety parameters involving
nuclear projects, land acquisition
and pre-project activities can take
as long as five years. Hence, going
forward, NPCIL said it will to build
nuclear power hubs with large
number of reactors at a single site,
in an effort to also bring down cost.
The mainstay of India’s nuclear
power programme will be the indig-
enous 700 MW pressurised heavy
water reactors (PHWRs), Pathak
said, making the mission the ‘truest
example of Atmanirbhar Bharat’.
India is pursuing a unique, sequen-
tial
three-stage
nuclear
power
programme, he added, which essen-
tially means that initially Uranium
will be used as a primary fuel, and
eventually, NPCIL will move to
using Thorium.

Under the plan, the government
will
promote
clean
technology
(cleantech)
manufacturing,
the
minister said while presenting the
Budget 2025.
"Under cleantech manufacturing,
equipment needed in energy transi-
tion such as solar PV cells; EV
batteries, motors and controllers;
electrolysers; wind turbines; high
voltage transmission equipments
and grid-scale batteries will be
promoted," Sitharaman said.
She, however, did not mention the
details on how manufacturing of
these items in the renewable and
new energy sector will be promoted.
The government is already offering
production-linked
incentives
for
manufacturing
solar
modules,
electrolysers, EV batteries and
another 10 gigawatt (GW) of incen-
tive for grid-scale batteries is in the
offing.
India is chasing a green energy
target of 500 gigawatt (GW) by
2030 not only to honour its Nation-
ally
Determined
Contributions
(NDC), but also to ensure energy
security. According to the govern-
ment, demand is expected to surge
to a high of 384 GW in 2031-2032,
which
will
need
a
combined
augmentation of power generation
capacity, ranging from thermal,
renewable, nuclear, and hydropow-
er.
According to the latest NDC targets,
India has committed to reducing the
emission intensity of its GDP by 45
percent by 2030 from 2005 levels,
and achieving about 50 percent
installed capacity from non-fossil
fuel-based energy resources by
2030.

ADANI GREEN STOCK GAINS 2% ON REPORT OF
WITHDRAWAL FROM SRI LANKA WIND POWER PROJECT
CLEANTECH MANUFACTURING GETS A
BOOST IN BUDGET 2025
14 | June 2025 | www.industrialoutlook.in
Adani Green Energy Ltd’s share
price rose 2 percent to trade above
Rs 935 on the NSE, following a
news report that the company will
withdraw from its proposed wind
power generation and transmission
project in Sri Lanka, potentially
ending the overhang about the
project viability.
Bloomberg reported citing a letter
written by Adani Green Energy that
the company has withdrawn from
building two wind power projects in
Sri Lanka after the new government
sought lower tariffs last month.
The $442 million, 484 MW wind
farm project in Mannar and Pooner-
in was approved by Sri Lanka’s
Board of Investment in early 2023,
with an agreement signed to supply
power at 8.26 cents per kWh for 20
years. However, Sri Lanka’s new
government has sought to renegoti-
ate the power purchase agreement,
reportedly aiming to bring the tariff
under 6 cents per unit.
In January 2025, when reports
emerged that Sri Lanka had revoked
Adani Green’s project, the Adani
Group called the claims "false and
misleading."
The
government,
however, maintained that it would
not proceed with the purchase price
agreed upon by the previous admin-
istration.
Aruna Kulatunga, President of the
EOI Project Developers Associa-
tion, a body of 47 companies evalu-
ating energy project bids in Sri
Lanka, recently said that the tariff
offered by Adani Green was consid-
ered
high
compared
to
local
bidders.

JSW Energy reported a 16 percent
year-on-year increase in consolidat-
ed net profit to Rs 408 crorer, up
from Rs 351 crore in the same
period last year.
Revenue from operations rose to Rs
3,189 crore in Q4 FY25, compared
to Rs 2,756 crore a year ago.
EBITDA for the quarter grew 17
percent to Rs 1,512 crore, supported
by renewable capacity additions and
contributions from KSK Mahanadi
Power Ltd.
For the full year FY25, total
revenue rose 6 percent year-on-year
to Rs 12,639 crore from Rs 11,941
crore in FY24. EBITDA increased 5
percent to Rs 6,115 crore, driven by
renewable energy additions and
contributions from the Utkal and
KSK thermal plants. Net profit for
the year rose 13 percent to Rs 1,951
crore, compared to Rs 1,723 crore
in FY24.
The board has recommended a
dividend of Rs 2.0 per share, subject
to shareholders’ approval.
The company's board approved a
proposal to raise up to Rs 10,000
crore in one or more tranches by
way of private offerings and/or on
preferential allotment basis and/or
via qualified institutions placement
(QIP) mode.
India needs to scale up its non-fos-
sil fuel capacity to 600 gigawatts
GW by 2030 to meet its growing
electricity demand reliably and
affordably,
a
report
by
New
Delhi-based think tank has said.
The Council on Energy, Environ-
ment and Water (CEEW) study,
released, said if India's power
demand
continues
to
outpace
current projections due to a warm-
ing planet or strong economic
growth over the next five years, it
needs a plan to raise its non-fossil
energy capacity to 600 GW, mainly
due to cheaper RE resources.
"This would include 377 GW of
solar, 148 GW of wind, 62 GW of
hydro, and 20 GW of nuclear
energy,” the study titled How can
India meet its rising power demand?
Pathways to 2030 said.
It found that if India’s electricity
demand grows in keeping with the
Central
Electricity
Authority’s
(CEA) projections, India’s existing,
under-construction,
and
planned
generation capacities would be
adequate to meet power needs in
2030.

JSW ENERGY Q4 NET PROFIT RISES 16% TO RS 408 CRORE;
INCREASES POWER GENERATION TARGET TO 30 GW
INDIA NEEDS TO UP CLEAN ENERGY GAME,
MUST AIM FOR 600 GW BY 2030
16 | June 2025 | www.industrialoutlook.in
After the successful public issues
by Waaree Energies and Premier
Energies last year, Bengaluru-based
Emmvee - maker of solar photovol-
taic modules - is preparing to raise
Rs 2,500–3,000 crore through an
initial
public
offering
(IPO),
reflecting a growing investor appe-
tite for clean energy, people aware
of the development on the condition
of anonymity.
The Emmvee Group has a total
manufacturing
capacity
of
2.5
gigawatts (GW) and 6.6 GW capaci-
ty for solar cells and solar modules,
respectively. The group has a track
record of over 30 years in the solar
industry, with a business spanning
across solar water heating systems
and modules.
Sources said the solar module
maker is likely to use the IPO
proceeds to fund capital expendi-
ture as it looks to expand cell and
module manufacturing capacity, to
tap growing domestic and global
demand
for
renewable
energy.
Emmvee may also use part of the
funds to repay debt used for previ-
ous capacity expansions.
Emmvee is working with invest-
ment banks Kotak Mahindra Capital
and JM Financial as well as other
advisors for the proposed initial
public offering.
The government is pushing the
pedal on pumped hydro storage
projects (PSPs), with the power
ministry targeting to clear 13 such
plants this fiscal, double the previ-
ous years, as it speeds up the
approval process to get more private
investment.
Several
private
companies
are
investing
in
pumped
storage
projects to support the integration
of renewable energy sources but
face delays in getting approvals
from the government.
“Based
on
various
feasibility
studies submitted to us, the govern-
ment has set a target of doubling the
number of PSP approvals from six
plants in FY25 to 13 in the current
financial year. If we see in gigawatt
(GW) scale, the increase will be 2x
from 7.5 GW to 22 GW planned in
FY26," said a senior ministry
official.
In most cases, the timeline — from
the approval of a detailed project
report (DPR) to commissioning —
will be about four years, the official
said.
A second ministry official said the
approval processes were not only
been streamlined but are being fast
tracked too.
“We have appointed the Central
Electricity Authority (CEA) as the
nodal agency, which has developed
an exclusive portal - ‘Jalvi Store’ -
for a transparent approval process,”
the official said.
The DPR framework has been made
shorter for faster submissions and
received a good response from the
private sector, the official said.
Investment from the private sector
shall increase further as the govern-
ment’s baseline identified PSP
potential is 200 GW, the official
said.

SOLAR MODULE MAKER EMMVEE EYES RS 2,500–3,000 CRORE
VIA IPO, JOINS THE FUNDRAISE BANDWAGON
GOVT LOOKS TO TRIPLE CLEARANCES FOR PUMPED
HYDRO STORAGE PROJECTS THIS FISCAL
18 | June 2025 | www.industrialoutlook.in
The Indian government announced
a viability gap funding (VGF) worth
Rs 5,400 crore for developing
30-gigawatt hour (GWh) of new
battery energy storage systems
(BESS) to ensure round-the-clock
renewable energy capacities in the
country.
Announcing the approval of the
scheme, Union minister for power
Manohar Lal Khattar said it will be
in addition to the already existing
incentive worth Rs 3,700 crore
under which 13.2 GWh of BESS is
currently
under
implementation.
The initiative will attract invest-
ments worth Rs 33,000 crore.
The VGF will be provided from the
Power System Development Fund
(PSDF). The scheme is targeted at
15 states which will receive alloca-
tions of 25 GWh and NTPC Ltd that
will get 5 GWh. The union minister
said the first round of tender for the
new VGF will be floated within 3
months.
"India is targeting 393 GW of
renewable energy capacity (293
GW solar and 100 GW wind) by
2030. But renewable energy is
highly
intermittent
and
needs
energy storage solutions to ensure
round the clock power supply and
grid stability. Hence, BESS is
essential especially to meet peak
demand during non-solar hours,"
Khattar said in an interaction with
reporters.
India will meet its target of 50
percent
non-fossil
generation
capacity earlier than planned even
as the country saw the third-largest
growth in power generation capaci-
ty in the world after China and the
US in past five years, the Interna-
tional Energy Agency (IEA) has
said in its latest report.
In 2024, 83 percent of India's
investments in the power sector was
towards clean energy, the World
Energy Investment 2025 report,
released, said.
"India looks set to reach its 2030
target of 50 percent non-fossil
generation capacity ahead of sched-
ule... While growth in power gener-
ation has come from all sources,
there has been a surge in investment
in renewables, led by solar PV,
which constitutes more than half of
total non-fossil investment over this
period," the report said.
The government has been pushing
for cleaner energy to save India
precious foreign exchange and cut
emissions.
China spent $627 billion on clean
energy in 2024, the highest of all the
countries, the report said. The US
was next at $400 billion followed
by the European Union (EU) at $
386 billion.

With day temperatures across
India set to rise by 2-5 degrees
Celsius over the next three to four
days, coal-fired power plants will
be key to meet the summer demand,
which may surpass the 2024 high to
hit 270 gigawatts (GW), the Minis-
try of Power has said.
The country is bracing for a
hotter-than-usual
summer
this
season, with the India Meteorologi-
cal Department (IMD) predicting
above-normal
temperatures
and
more heatwave days, particularly in
North India. In light of the forecast,
Centre has increased its projected
peak power demand by 20 GW from
the high of 250 GW seen.
The month of May would be ‘the
most critical’ this year as well,
according to Grid India, which is
preparing to guard against height-
ened
system
vulnerabilities
triggered by peak demands and
variation in renewable power gener-
ation.
Even though renewable energy now
accounts for 46 percent of India’s
total electricity capacity, coal would
remain the mainstay in meeting this
peak load. “We are expecting
thermal
(coal-fired)
power
to
account for 70-74 percent in meet-
ing the country’s peak demand this
year. The
share
of
renewable
energy, which usually accounts for
11-14 percent will increase margin-
ally by 2-3 percent. The contribu-
tion of hydropower is going to
remain the same ranging from 7-11
percent,”
Central
Electricity
Authority (CEA) chairperson Ghan-
shyam Prasad.
The Union government is looking
to connect all upcoming green
energy units with the national grid
at an estimated investment of Rs 4.9
lakh crore between 2027 and 2032,
according to the National Electrici-
ty Plan (Volume II: Transmission)
notified.
According to the NEP, India’s peak
power demand is expected to hit
388 GW by 2031-32, for which the
country would need a power genera-
tion capacity of 997 GW. This will
require the transmission and distri-
bution
(T&D)
network
to
be

“An estimated Rs 4,90,920 crore
would be required for the imple-
mentation of additional transmis-
sion system in the country during
2027-32… The same for 2022-27
was projected at Rs 4,25,222 crore,”
says the NEP, prepared by the
Central Electricity Authority.
The NEP, which is a medium to
long-term plan for India's power
sector, is prepared and notified
every five years. The last NEP
(Volume
I:
Generation)
was
notified. A draft for the latest NEP
(Volume II: Transmission), seeking
comments was published in October
2024 and the final version was
issued through a gazette notifica-
tion.

Q uote
This World Environment Day reminds us that the choices we make in
building and developing our communities have lasting impacts on the planet.
As India advances toward its net-zero goals and a circular economy, it's more
important than ever to prioritise sustainable infrastructure and eco-conscious
development.
Designing energy-efficient, resource-saving spaces not only supports healthi-
er, more resilient communities but also aligns growth with responsibility.
With India's expanding industrial landscape, accelerating the adoption of
green buildings powered by renewable energy like solar, is essential. To make
meaningful progress, collaboration between policymakers, businesses, and
communities is crucial, simplifying regulations, improving financing, and
raising awareness about sustainable infrastructure.
By taking these steps together, we can ensure that the growth we pursue today
builds a healthier, more sustainable world for generations to come.

The Renewable Energy business which fundamentally appears to be
clean, also has a huge room for enhancing sustainability measures. Disposal
of fibre reinforced plastics used for wind turbine rotor blades, spinners and
nacelle, upon completion of its useful life are posing a challenge.
Alternate material to FRPs or devising degradability in composites is the
focus area to prevent future challenges. Disposal of Solar PV panels is the
biggest challenge that humans are witnessing. Putting the said pollutant to an
alternate use is a secondary solution when one surrenders the competency to
innovate. The true challenge is to refrain from creation of plastics or fibre
glass of any form; and the answer lies in imposition of a disciplinary frame-
work to drive innovation & reform the technology landscape.
Sustainability isn’t just a goal, but it’s our moral responsibility!

Q uote
Plastic pollution is one of the most visible and urgent symptoms of a
deeper systems failure — in how we produce, consume, and educate. Solving
it requires more than just bans or cleanup campaigns; it calls for a shift in
mindsets, policies, and skills. At Sustain Labs Paris, we believe climate
leadership begins in the classroom — from building climate schools to
supporting executive education that empowers professionals to take bold,
science-led decisions. And we never do it alone. Whether launching new
technologies or climate education programmes, we work in partnership with
institutions that have a shared stake in shaping the future. For us and our
partners, every day is World Environment Day — because systemic change
doesn’t wait for a calendar date.

Educating for Climate Leadership
Sustainable manufacturing needs to go from being an ideal to a reality as
climate change speeds up and industries are held to higher standards of
environmental responsibility. At Hi-Tech Radiators Pvt. Ltd., we believe that
sustainable production that satisfies global demand while respecting ecologi-
cal limits is the way of the future for heavy industries. We reaffirm our
commitment to minimizing our environmental impact through energy-effi-
cient processes, galvanized products with longer life cycles, and adherence to
the highest international quality and sustainability standards on this World
Environment Day.
Our ethos is rooted in environmental safekeeping, and we encourage industry
peers and local communities to work together to accelerate innovations in
responsible sourcing, green manufacturing, and circular economy practices.

Q uote
Our Earth is more than just land, water, and sky. It is a complex physi-
co-chemical system, where the atmosphere, hydrosphere, lithosphere, and
biosphere are deeply intertwined. Every process, from the carbon cycle to
ocean circulation, is part of a dynamic, balanced network. When we alter one
part of this system, even slightly, the effects ripple outward. Often, these
changes aren’t immediate because Earth’s systems have a large inertia, but
once they respond, the consequences are profound and far-reaching.
For example, when we burn fossil fuels, we emit carbon dioxide and particu-
late matter into the atmosphere. While these may seem invisible or benign at
first, they accumulate, altering the planet’s radiative balance, intensifying the
greenhouse effect, and driving long-term shifts in climate. These changes
manifest slowly, through rising global temperatures, sea level rise, and ecosystem disruptions, a phenomenon scien-
tists refer to as a lagged response. Even more concerning is what’s known as hysteresis: where the path to damage
is fast, but recovery is painfully slow, or sometimes irreversible. Antarctica’s melting ice is a clear example. Scien-
tists now believe we've passed a tipping point, where natural feedbacks (like reduced albedo) will continue the
melting, even if emissions are drastically reduced. The resulting sea level rise could take centuries to play out, but
millennia to reverse.
This World Environment Day, let’s recognise that every action, however small, feeds into this larger system. The
Earth gives us stability, sustenance, and life. In return, it asks only for awareness, restraint, and care.

Understanding Our Impact
on a Complex System
S Energy is the engine of human progress, and today, it must also become
the foundation of environmental restoration. On World Environment Day
2025, we must confront the fact that business-as-usual is no longer viable.
The challenge before us is not just technological, but deeply systemic. We
need an energy transition that is swift and scalable, but also just, inclusive,
and durable. Future-proof energy systems must be designed to minimize
environmental impact while maximizing human potential. This means
planning for resilience, designing with nature in mind, and putting people,
especially vulnerable communities, at the heart of the transition. The opportu-
nity before us is historic: to redefine growth in terms of harmony, not
exploitation. The choices we make today will determine whether we inherit a
livable planet or leave behind a legacy of missed chances.
