The Power Outlook Series, developed by Vasudha Foundation, provides an overview of the current status of India’s power sector with a focus on significant and emerging developments. The series aims to develop a more informed understanding of India’s power sector and act as a tracking tool for stakeholders. The latest edition entitled ‘A Compendium of the Latest Clean Energy Initiatives‘ is the sixth in the series.

This volume aims to provide a detailed analysis of a few key central-level policies, schemes, guidelines, and standards released in last two to three years that will have a big impact on how India meets it Net-Zero targets. As there are several initiatives at play, there is a possibility that certain key aspects may have been missed during formulation. Moreover, the progress of these initiatives is marred by a great degree of complexity, and thus actions on the ground are varied. In this context, an analysis of initiatives through a well-formulated framework may help in deriving the findings needed for their effective implementation.

The framework developed for this analysis uses a wide-ranging, theme-based approach. We then finalised the key parameters that will assist in the holistic assessment of these initiatives. Each initiative is then expounded under the selected parameters are also listed in the report.
