The global energy transition is being significantly accelerated by India's ambitious plan to become a Net Zero economy by 2050, necessitating a shift to renewable energy sources and innovative technologies. Central to this transformation is India's target to install 450 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, alongside a transition to electric vehicles, the commercialization of hydrogen energy, and increased ethanol blending. Complementing these efforts are carbon capture and storage initiatives aimed at reducing emissions in traditionally energy-intensive sectors such as power, steel, cement, and mining. This shift is part of a broader trend where environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors are increasingly influencing the flow of capital, driving companies to develop comprehensive decarbonization strategies. A weekly ESG newsletter by Research and Markets provides industry professionals with insights into these developments, highlighting the growing importance of sustainability in business decision-making.
