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 ...

From Coal to Clean: India’s Energy Sector Hits Historic Turning Point-Energy Update

Executive Summary This update examines India’s accelerating energy transition through multiple lenses: record renewable growth driving historic emissions reductions, transformative GST reforms unleashing investment, and ambitious infrastructure modernisation plans. We explore corporate developments at Tata Power and Adani Power, regional initiatives in Haryana’s decentralised energy programme, improved mine worker safety protocols, and international partnerships including Zimbabwe’s Jindal deal. The analysis reveals a sector reaching an inflection point where policy, investment and technology converge to reshape India’s energy landscape fundamentally. Energy Prices Hold Firm but Global Volatility Looms India’s energy markets are calm but cautious as WTI crude sits at $63.75 per barrel...

India’s Coal Conundrum : COAL-FIRED POWER PLANTS IN INDIA SPEWING TOXIC POLLUTANTS

By SATYAPAL MENON Newscript, August 15, 2025 Is India's considerable reliance on coal for power generation an unavoidable necessity, despite its’ potential hazards? Most of the futuristic projections point to continued dependence on this fossil fuel for catering to major chunk of country’s electricity requirements. This is substantiated by estimates which indicate that coal consumption would cross the billion-ton mark in the not too distant future, from 895 million tons in 23-24. Presently, Coal-fired power plants account for 75% of electricity generation in the country. Though there is a possibility of decrease in the percentage by around 20% to an estimated 55% in 2030, it also reflects the fact that coal-fired power plants would continue to account for more than half of India’...

Energy Bulletin – India & Worldwide

By Team Newscript August 9, 2025 India’s Coal Dependence Endures Despite Renewables Growth Coal remains India’s dominant source of electricity, supplying roughly 73 per cent of daily generation, especially during evening peaks when solar output fades. Rapid EV adoption is adding new demand pressure, underscoring the urgent need for large-scale storage and hybrid renewable projects. While policymakers have set aggressive decarbonisation targets, the grid’s reliance on coal for stability persists. Investment in battery systems and pumped hydro remains modest relative to requirement, raising questions over the pace of transition. Analysts note that without accelerated storage deployment, the coal fleet—already one of the largest in the world—will continue to anchor India’s energy sec...

Lloyds Metals Secures Tandsi-III Coking Coal Mine

By Newscript News Network August 20, 2025 Lloyds Metals & Energy has secured the Tandsi-III and Tandsi-III extension coking coal mines, with 23 million tonnes of reserves across Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra. The acquisition, won with a 10.5% premium, strengthens Lloyds’ raw material security for steel. “India’s steelmakers are heavily import-dependent. This acquisition reduces our vulnerability,” said a company official. Analysts say Lloyds is following integrated strategies of Tata Steel and JSW. Environmentalists argue coal expansion undermines climate goals, but policymakers defend it as vital for steel competitiveness.

Global & India Energy Briefing

By Team Newscript August 12, 2025 India hits 50% non-fossil capacity five years early NEW DELHI, Aug 12 — India’s installed electricity generation capacity from non-fossil fuel sources has reached 50 per cent — five years ahead of its 2030 Paris Agreement commitment. The portfolio includes 234GW from clean energy (solar, wind, large hydro), 8.7GW nuclear, and 242GW thermal. This milestone reflects strong policy measures such as the Production-Linked Incentive scheme, accelerated auctions, and substantial private investment from players like Adani Green Energy. Analysts note the symbolism: coal remains dominant in absolute terms, but clean capacity is expanding at unprecedented speed. With demand forecast to grow over 6 per cent annually through 2030, peak load management will re...
