CSTEP Study Highlights Limits of Solar-BESS Systems for 24-Hour Renewable Supply.
The findings point towards more granular procurement and project-design approaches rather than simply increasing battery capacity to meet RTC obligations.

India has spent about $1.5 billion on its flagship clean-air programme. Yet fewer than 7% of 131 targeted cities met its pollution-reduction goal, while 35% saw PM10 levels rise.

Building a new solar industry segment #energysky -- via pv magazine global:
Building a new solar industry segment
A study conducted by the German development agency Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in collaboration with India-based think tank the Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP), found that India has the potential for more than 300 GW of building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) systems on its existing buildings alone. Moreover, according to a World Bank report, 70% of the buildings India will need to become a developed nation by 2047 are yet to be constructed, underscoring the vast future potential for BIPV systems in the country.
