Affordable and Clean Energy focused Transition and

Measures required towards speeding up the pace of India’s
clean energy transition in par with Global developments.

Problem Statement: Focus on energy transition and clean

energy shift has globally grown rapidly in recent years.
However, when one has to define energy transition, there is
no ideal mix that can be unanimously adopted worldwide. On
a larger prospective, every country has its own specific focus
areas and the aim at international summits is to achieve
these major global objectives. These objectives cannot be
achieved without strong support from both Central and State
Govt to achieve net zero goals. Although these ambitions are
clear for majority of the countries, adoption pace is still slow.
In order to speed up this transition, accelerate the
deployment of available solutions along with innovating for
the future, it is important to focus on the below major areas:
1. Current key challenges in achieving affordable clean
energy transition.
2. New emerging solutions with focus on achieving the
stated Net Zero goals.
• Short term goals - 2027
• Mid term goals- 2030
• Long term goals - 2050, 2070
3. The action points and the roadmap to achieve NetZero
goals (for the solution mentioned in point number 2)
4. Please mention the implementation strategy and policy
framework required to achieve Net Zero goals (for the action
points & roadmap mentioned in point number 3)
5. Key strategies or financial mechanisms to make the
solutions affordable.
6. Adoption of Emerging Technologies to achieve the above
stated goals.

When it comes to India, the transition process will not be

linear, top-down process is driven only by the Central
government in India. In fact, it requires a coordinated role
with State Governments (Energy is a Concurrent issue) and
abide with legal power, regulatory set up as per constitution
of India. Hence, the solutions should focus on amendments
or policy and regulatory solutions towards achieving India’s
Energy Transition goals with a focus on above mentioned
areas.

All the best!
