Power & Utilities

India targets 500 GW renewable energy capacity by 2030 — from solar, wind, hydro, and storage. The power sector is both a structural growth story and a turnaround story: decades of under-investment in generation and distribution are being addressed by government reforms. Transmission is a regulated business with near-guaranteed returns. Power generators are benefiting from rising merchant power prices and long-term PPAs with government distribution companies.
