Energy Federalism
By Vandana Majumdar
India's energy transition is marked by ambitious goals — to get half of its electricity capacity from non-fossil sources by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions by 2070. Yet this is not a single national project; in practice, it is a much more dispersed effort. Achieving these goals will depend heavily on decisions made at the state level, from land and power tariffs to transmission, electric mobility, industrial growth and the financial health of power distribution companies.
