Latest News - In 2016, Business Standard looked at several indicators to show India’s progress in terms of clean energy, technological progress and electricity access. We analyse our progress since and predict an increased focus on renewables, more reliable power supply to villages, growing spread of Aadhaar–the national identification system–and greater use and spread of the Internet in 2017.
So, here are four things India can look forward to:
1. Increasing energy capacity and the push for renewables
2. Rural electrification moving ahead but power supply suspect
3. Aadhaar focus to shift to North East
4. India’s Internet user community 2nd largest in the world

India ranks 20th on Climate Change Performance Index

1475094733-8249
India has been ranked 20th on Climate Change Performance Index (CCPI) 2017, which underlined that countries like India are making "great efforts" in the fields of renewables and energy efficiency.

With the historic Paris Agreement having recently entered into force, the latest CCPI confirms a boost for renewable energy and positive developments in energy efficiency.

The publication was issued by Germanwatch and Climate Action Network Europe.

While these encouraging trends are happening on a global scale, the necessary energy revolution is still happening too slowly, the publication said.

"Morocco (rank eight) continued its upward trend. With massive investments in renewable energy and ambitious mid-term and long-term targets, Morocco is a frontrunner in Africa,” the publication said.
"Positive trends are seen as well among emerging economies of G20 like India (rank 20)Argentina (36) and Brazil (40), which all improved their ranking," it said.
