Why the LCOE argument for solar has definitively won.

At ₹3.5–4.5/kWh over 25 years, utility-scale solar is now cheaper than new coal, gas, or diesel generation across India. For captive solar — rooftop and ground-mount — the case is even clearer against grid tariffs of ₹8–12/unit.

Maharashtra's RPO trajectory: what industrial consumers need to plan for.

Maharashtra's Renewable Purchase Obligation targets increase annually through 2030. Industrial consumers above 1 MW contracted demand face mandatory RPO compliance — with penalties for shortfall. Here is what the trajectory looks like and how to plan ahead.

LFP batteries for industrial applications: the right chemistry at the right cost.

Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) has become the dominant chemistry for industrial battery storage — safer, longer-cycle, and now cost-competitive at ₹18–22 Cr/MWh (landed India, 2025). We explain why we specify LFP and what to watch for in procurement.

The Anekantavada approach to net zero: why right proportion beats fixed targets.

Jainism's principle of many-sidedness offers a more honest framework for industrial decarbonisation than RE100 or binary net-zero targets. The right share of renewable energy today is not the right share in five years — and the transition roadmap should reflect that.
