1 年Interesting to see how the govt balances the ease of distribution of EVs while simultaneously incentivising scientific research in the sector to bolster the chances of breakthroughs. I suspect few are focusing on the latter in India considering the volume of investments the EV market has received in recent past.

1 年The speedy development of PSPs ( pump storage hydro power plants ) is a necessity for achieving the highly ambitious 2030 targets, and success on this front would take India to the global frontier in the deployment of energy storage. Pumped storage hydro power plants have water reservoirs at different elevations on a steep slope. When there is excess power on the grid and demand for electricity is low, the power is used to pump water from the lower to the upper reservoir using reversible turbines. This combined with solar power is presently planned and executed to meet the growing demand .
