Chhattisgarh has a unique opportunity to position itself at the forefront of India’s clean energy transition.
IISD & @Swaniti teams met with Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai, Principal Secretary Subodh Singh, & Secretary of Energy Rohit Yadav, to present new research on advancing Chhattisgarh's energy transitions. 👇
मुख्यमंत्री श्री विष्णु देव साय से अंतर्राष्ट्रीय संस्था इंटरनेशनल इंस्टिट्यूट ऑफ सस्टेनेबल डेवलपमेंट (IISD) और स्वनिति इनिशिएटिव के शोधकर्ताओं ने सौजन्य मुलाकात की। इस दौरान मुख्यमंत्री श्री साय ने उनकी विस्तृत अध्ययन रिपोर्ट “मैपिंग इंडियाज स्टेट लेवल एनर्जी ट्रांज़िशन: छत्तीसगढ़” का विमोचन किया।
मुख्यमंत्री श्री साय ने इस दौरान शोधकर्ताओं के साथ राज्य में नवीकरणीय ऊर्जा के प्रसार, ऊर्जा सुरक्षा और सतत विकास की दिशा में छत्तीसगढ़ सरकार की रणनीतियों पर विस्तारपूर्वक चर्चा की।

Here's our reading of the tea leaves, we expect the budget to pick up where the interim budget left off (no new surprises) with some newness - support for grid-based solar power schemes, VGF for offshore wind, expanding EV infrastructure, and the solar rooftop scheme.
India’s #UnionBudget2024 will be released next week & with it the new government has an opportunity to demonstrate leadership on climate commitments, fuel economic growth, & build a resilient energy system.
How can this budget put 🇮🇳 on track? 🧵1/9

Timely reporting! This was bound to happen. Thanks @MongabayIndia @parul_kuls for this. Unfortunately, the govt still thinks subsidizing higher capacity pumps will solve the issue.
Farmers in Rajasthan who purchased subsidized solar pumps are now forced to sell it further due to the depleting groundwater in the state. I traveled to Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan to cover the story for @MongabayIndia . 🧵
