India’s energy landscape is a study in contrasts. On one hand, the country is a global leader in renewable energy adoption, with ambitious targets for solar and wind power. On the other, coal remains the backbone of its energy mix, accounting for 55% of the national energy supply and over 74% of power generation.

In the global race to achieve net-zero emissions, India stands at the threshold of a transformative clean energy revolution. Green hydrogen, a fuel produced through water electrolysis using renewable sources, has captured attention for its immense potential to cut carbon emissions and drive economic growth.

Russian oil products exports remain resilient with volumes climbing last month to the highest in a year, despite repeated drone strikes against the country’s refining operations.

India is forging ahead with its ambitious target of achieving 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, as reaffirmed by industry leaders at the recently concluded India Energy Week 2025.

Demand for the super-cooled fuel from the world’s fourth-largest buyer will rise to an annual 64 billion cubic meters by 2030, up from 36 billion last year, according to the IEA’s latest report on the Indian gas market, published on Wednesday.

Indian Railways has been seen as a potential joint venture partner for nuclear projects for many years: as long ago as 2017 NPCIL said it planned a joint venture with the state-owned enterprise.

India currently has an installed nuclear capacity of 8,180 MWe, according to the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board.

Russia is continuing remediation of former uranium mining sites in central Asia with a new project in Tajikistan.

Moscow has been India’s top crude oil supplier. India’s oil imports from Russia in April are at around 1.72 million barrels a day, their highest since July, according to online ship-tracking data.

India aims to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based energy capacity by 2030, with an intermediate target of 358 GW at the end of 2026.

India and the USA signed a civil nuclear cooperation agreement (also known as a 123 Agreement) in 2008,

India's rising Russian imports have come at the expense of rival Middle Eastern producers. The Reliance-Rosneft deal would represent another challenge for competitors, including Saudi Arabia.

Trade between the traditional allies have shot up five times in the past three years, according to trade ministry data, as India lapped up Russian crude oil while most others shunned its barrels following the invasion of Ukraine.

Since gaining independence in 1947, India's power sector has achieved remarkable growth, with the installed capacity soaring from a mere 1,300 MW to an impressive 400 GW by 2023. This growth trajectory has been propelled by strategic investments in thermal, hydro, and renewable energy, underlining the sector's resilience, adaptability, and alignment with global sustainability goals.

Ammonia, which consists of nitrogen and hydrogen, boasts a high energy density, making it a practical medium for hydrogen storage and transport.
