Weekly Energy Brief : September 1- September 7

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY India’s energy system showed resilience amid geopolitical stress. The U.S. 50% tariff shock was offset by Russia’s ~$7/bbl discount, sustaining flows through a ~6 mb/d shadow market while the Indian crude basket hovered near $70.71/bbl; pump prices in Delhi stayed broadly steady. Policy tailwinds accelerated the transition: ALMM List-II became mandatory for solar tenders, and a forthcoming GST reset cuts rates on renewable components to 5% while lifting coal/lignite to 18%, sharpening clean-power economics. Renewables reached 237 GW, with H1-2025 clean generation at ~236 TWh (+20% y/y); domestic module capacity now exceeds 100 GW. Corporates advanced green hydrogen, storage, and ammonia projects, as regulators tightened ESG: SEBI’s value-chain reporting is voluntary in ...

ONGC JOINED HANDS WITH TATA POWER RENEWABLES TO DEVELOP BATTERY STORAGE

Tata Power Renewable Energy and Oil and Natural Gas Corporation have joined forces to develop large-scale battery storage, marking a decisive step by India’s biggest oil producer into clean energy. The agreement was signed at India Energy Week in February, as ONGC faces growing pressure to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. Chairman Arun Kumar Singh said energy storage was vital to stabilise the grid as more solar and wind capacity comes online. ONGC has set a goal of 10GW of renewable power by 2030 and pledged net zero emissions by 2038. Tata Power adds operational know-how. It runs India’s largest solar-battery plant, a 100MW facility with 120MWh of storage in Chhattisgarh. Chief executive Deepesh Nanda said the partnership would scale solutions across utilities, industrial consume...

India Bets on Small Modular Reactors to Expand Nuclear Power

By Newscript News Network August 20, 2025 India has allocated ₹20,000 crore in Budget 2025–26 for Small Modular Reactor (SMR) R&D, aiming for five operational SMRs by 2033. Nuclear capacity targets include 100GW by 2047. “SMRs can be deployed faster and closer to demand centres,” a Department of Atomic Energy official said. Analysts see India aligning with U.S., Canada, and China. Challenges remain around waste, liability, and financing. But SMRs could be India’s path to clean baseload power.
