Recommendations for Energy Storage in India

India’s energy sector has grown rapidly over the last year driven by policies, reforms and investments. Various policy initiatives such as introduction of UDAY, amendments in National Electricity Act, new solar RPO target for states, biofuel policy, small hydro policy, offshore wind policy and new hydrocarbon policy have all contributed to growth of the industry. However, there is still a long way to go with some persisting issues requiring attention and resolution at the earliest, making the upcoming budget crucial to the energy sector.

Power Watch India Magazine Description:

These are exciting times for the Indian power sector. Reform and restructuring have started taking shape in a sector that was traditionally a bastion of the state. Major institutions such as regulatory authorities and Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) have been set up, and activities such as power trading kick started. While progress has been significant, a lot remains to be accomplished. This is where PowerWatch India (PWI) comes in as a magazine. For a sector where private equity and the private sector's active participation have just about started flowing in, it is very important for all stakeholders to have access to accurate, up-to-date information for making the right value decisions. As a stakeholder in the sector itself - we do not like to call ourselves a magazine - PWI seeks to position itself as an industry player, catalyzing progress in India-s energy space at every step. This is a vision we seek to share with every one of our readers - a vision that will take us forward in establishing a unique identity for ourselves.
