  • Transmission Emerges as the Backbone of Atmanirbhar Bharat

    By Varun Bhatia, Vice President-Project & Learning Solutions, Electronics Sector Skills Council of India (ESSCI)

    For decades, the story of India’s power sector was one of chronic scarcity and the desperate scramble for generation. We measured progress by the number of power plants commissioned and the megawatts added to a perennially hungry grid. However, as global geopolitics becomes increasingly volatile, particularly with the ongoing disruptions in West Asia, India’s energy narrative is undergoing a fundamental shift. With nearly 40 percent of our crude oil imports transiting through the precarious Strait of Hormuz, the vulnerability of our fossil fuel dependence has never been more apparent. In this high-stakes environment, energy self-sufficiency is no longer just an environmental aspiration; it is a strategic imperative central to national sovereignty.

    Yet, an often underemphasised truth sits at the heart of this transition. Generation capacity alone does not guarantee energy security. Without a robust and forward-looking transmission network, even the most ambitious renewable targets risk underdelivery. The real story of India’s energy transformation, therefore, lies in the interplay between generation and transmission, and the policy clarity that binds them together.

    India’s electricity sector has undergone a structural transformation over the past decade. Energy shortages, which stood at over 4.2% in 2013–14, have nearly disappeared, falling to negligible levels in recent years (just 0.03% in 2025–26). The country has successfully met record peak demand exceeding 242 GW, signalling both demand growth and system resilience. The national grid, one of the largest synchronised networks in the world, operates at system availability levels exceeding 99%. These are not incremental improvements. They reflect sustained investments in both capacity creation and grid strengthening.

    From Fields to Power: Farmers in a New Role

    There is a quiet transformation taking place across rural India. The same farmers who once powered the Green Revolution are now enabling the country’s energy transition. Land that fed the nation is increasingly hosting solar parks, wind corridors and transmission networks.

    This is not a disruption. It is a continuum. India’s journey from food security to energy security is being written on the same soil. Farmers are no longer just beneficiaries of infrastructure. They are partners in building it. This shift also signals the arrival of what can be called an Electricity Revolution. Reliable and abundant power is beginning to reshape consumption patterns. Electric mobility is expanding, industries are adapting, and households are becoming less dependent on fossil fuels. As renewable capacity grows, the country’s long-term dependence on imported crude and LNG is expected to ease.

    Policy ambition is keeping pace. India has already crossed the milestone of 50 per cent non-fossil installed capacity and is now aiming for 60% by 2035. Its emissions intensity reduction target has also been raised to 47% by 2030 from 2005 levels. These are not incremental changes. They signal a structural shift.

    India’s Electrification & Renewable Energy Momentum

    Today, India stands as the fourth largest renewable energy market globally. Our total installed capacity has crossed the 509 GW mark, with non-fossil sources now accounting for more than half of that total. However, the sheer scale of our renewable ambitions—targeting 786 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2035—presents a unique set of engineering and logistical challenges. Unlike coal-fired plants that can be built near load centers, renewable energy is location-specific. The sun shines brightest in the deserts of Rajasthan and Gujarat, and the winds blow strongest along the coasts of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Without a robust transmission network, this clean energy remains “stranded,” unable to reach the factories of Maharashtra or the households of Delhi. Transmission is the ultimate enabler of scale; it turns localized potential into national power.

    The expansion of our national grid has been nothing short of Herculean. Since April 2014, the transmission network has grown by over 71 percent, adding 2.09 lakh circuit kilometers (ckm) to cross a total milestone of 5 lakh ckm. In the last fiscal year alone, over 8,800 ckm of lines were added to strengthen connectivity. This progress is anchored by the Green Energy Corridors and the Intra-State Transmission System (InSTS) projects active across eight renewable-rich states. These corridors are essential for evacuating the 40 GW of renewable power currently being integrated through initial phases of development.

    Why It Matters Now

    The case for prioritising both generation and transmission is not merely technical. It is strategic. Reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels shields India from geopolitical shocks. A robust grid ensures that power reaches every corner of the country reliably, supporting growth and improving quality of life. Rural India, through farmers’ participation, is emerging as a key driver of this transformation.

    There is also a larger shift underway. India is no longer just a major energy consumer. It is positioning itself as a global leader in clean energy deployment. But we cannot afford to be complacent. To reach our updated target of 60 percent non-fossil power capacity by 2035, the grid must evolve from being reactive to being pre-emptive. The current Inter-State Transmission System plan is ambitious, envisioning 67,000 circuit kilometers of lines and 600,000 MVA of transformation capacity by 2031. This forward-looking approach is necessary because transmission infrastructure often takes longer to plan and execute than the renewable plants themselves. If we do not build the “highways” of electricity today, our future generation capacity will have nowhere to go.

    The economic implications of this shift are profound. Greater availability of domestic electricity for mobility, residential use, and industry directly dampens the growth in petroleum demand. As we integrate more solar, wind, and hydro, our long-term dependence on expensive, imported LNG and crude oil will naturally decline. Furthermore, India has raised the stakes for its own efficiency, revising the target for reducing energy intensity to 47 percent of GDP by 2030. This dual focus on adding green capacity while reducing intensity is the only viable pathway to a sustainable, high-growth economy.

    Looking ahead, the next decade will be the most decisive for India’s transmission sector. We are moving toward a reality of round-the-clock renewable energy (RE-RTC) that combines solar, wind, and storage. This requires a grid that is not just a series of wires, but a sophisticated, modernized entity capable of handling the intermittency of clean power. Transmission and generation are two sides of the same coin: generation without transmission is an exercise in inefficiency, while transmission without generation is a redundancy we cannot afford.

  • 97% of Indian Manufacturers Say Digital Transformation Is Essential as India Accelerates AI-Led Manufacturing

    May 25: Rockwell Automation, Inc. , the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, today announced India findings from its 11th annual State of Smart Manufacturing Report.

  • Three Types of Business Travellers Every Indian Company Should Know About

    Business travel in India is no longer just about getting from one city to another – it’s about people, preferences, and personal priorities. As Indian companies expand globally and hybrid work becomes the norm, employees are bringing their expectations, values, and realities into every trip.

    And one thing is clear: a one-size-fits-all travel policy no longer works.

    According to the latest SAP Concur research, 89% of Indian business travellers expect travel budgets to either increase or remain stable in 2025, and hence business travellers can broadly be grouped into three distinct types; each with very different needs.

    1. The Selective Travellers

    Selective Travellers are typically younger professionals, often part of India’s growing hybrid workforce.

    While they are open to travelling for work, they are not willing to compromise on personal values, safety, or well-being.

    • 96% of Indian business travellers are willing to decline a trip if it conflicts with health, safety, or work-life balance concerns (SAP Concur)
    • 97% expect flexibility beyond company policy for reasons like sustainability, safety, or personal priorities (SAP Concur)

    Their expectations go beyond just travel logistics:

    • 73% feel they don’t always get equal travel opportunities (SAP Concur)
    • 41% say companies prioritise sustainability, but face budget challenges (SAP Concur)

    What this means in India:
    Selective Travellers are values-driven and vocal. They want transparency, flexibility, and the ability to make choices aligned with their personal priorities.

    What companies should do:
    Be transparent, prioritise traveller safety, and offer flexible policies that allow exceptions when needed.

    2. The Efficiency Seekers

    Efficiency Seekers are typically mid-to-senior professionals juggling demanding careers and personal responsibilities.

    In India, where work-life balance and time constraints are increasingly important, this group prioritises speed and productivity above all.

    • 99% of Indian travellers are open to AI-powered travel tools (SAP Concur)
    • However, only 3% currently use them, highlighting a gap between interest and execution (SAP Concur)

    They also face frequent disruptions:

    • 91% have had to take unexpected action due to travel disruptions (SAP Concur)
    • 36% have had to cancel or reschedule meetings due to travel issues (SAP Concur)

    Globally, this group is also the most likely to adopt AI for bookings and expense reporting, but only when it saves time.

    What this means in India:
    There is strong openness to AI, but companies need to make it actually useful, intuitive, and secure.

    What companies should do:
    Invest in seamless booking tools, reduce friction in expense management, and ensure strong data security to build trust.

    3. The Experience Maximisers

    Experience Maximisers are typically urban professionals based in India’s major business hubs like Mumbai, Delhi NCR, and Bengaluru.

    For them, business travel is not just functional; it’s an experience.

    • 95% of Indian travellers say business travel is critical to career success (SAP Concur)
    • 68% see it as essential for career growth (SAP Concur)

    At the same time, they are navigating constraints:

    • 27% feel companies prioritise cost-cutting over flexibility (SAP Concur)

    Globally, this group is more likely to upgrade travel experiences and even pay out of pocket for comfort.

    What this means in India:

    As corporate travel budgets tighten, employees still seek comfort, convenience, and meaningful travel experiences.

    What companies should do:
    Offer transparent upgrade options, clearly communicate policy limitations, and allow room for personalisation.

    These three traveller types highlight a simple truth: rigid travel policies are outdated.

    Indian businesses are seeing a strong rebound in travel, with 89% of business travellers expecting travel budgets to increase or remain stable. At the same time, employees are demanding more flexibility, transparency, and personalisation.

    Brett Wheeldon, Vice President, Solutions Consulting, APAC, SAP Concur says, “Rigid travel policies are no longer effective in today’s dynamic work environment. In India, where employee expectations are rapidly evolving, companies that fail to recognise different traveller needs risk lower compliance and satisfaction. By building flexible and transparent travel programmes, organisations can drive better outcomes for both employees and the business.”

  • Aurora Ventures launches to back the boldest female tech founders across emerging markets, including Egypt

    Aurora Ventures launches with backing from inDrive – a global mobility and delivery platform scaled to unicorn status across the same emerging markets the program is investing in – for its 2026 pilot year. Egypt is one of the priority markets for the project.
     
    The launch follows the successful conclusion of the 2026 Aurora Tech Award in Santiago, Chile, where a Nigerian, Adeola Ayoola-Famasi, was named among the top 10 finalists from a record-breaking field of 3,400 applicants.
     
    Other women founders that make up the 2026 Aurora Tech Award top 10 finalists include: Adriana Gonzalez-Tizo (Panama), Angela Acosta-Morado(Colombia), Catalina Isaza- Innmetec (Colombia), Estefania Abello- Muta(Colombia), Maria Kawas- DomestikCo(Chile), Mariana Zuliani-OncoAI (Brazil), Mercedes Bidart- Quipu(Colombia), Patricia Florencia- Pilou (Mexico), and Penny Musengi- Pesira Technologies (Kenya).

    Aurora Ventures launches to back the boldest female tech founders across emerging markets, including Egypt

     
    Aurora Ventures, an early-stage investment program, is designed to leverage one of the world’s largest pipelines of underserved female talent. It is built on a proprietary sourcing advantage derived from five years of Aurora Tech Award data.  
     
    With applications exploding by nearly 30 times since 2021, the Award noticed a persistent gap in market inefficiency  fuelled by high-traction, high-growth businesses led by women in MENA, Africa, and Latin America, which are consistently undervalued and overlooked by traditional venture capital.
     
    A new Aurora research study involving 900+ founders across 127 countries found that women founders face systemic “competence scepticism” and higher traction standards.
     
    The program, Aurora Ventures, aims to capture the “mispricing” faced by women founders by investing $180k–$250k at the pre-seed and seed stages. The program also utilises the Aurora Tech Award’s network to identify companies before their valuations fully reflect their performance, creating a repeatable model for generating alpha in emerging markets.
     
    Speaking on the initiative, Head of Aurora Ventures, Isabella Ghassemi-Smith, described the launch of Aurora Ventures as a disciplined investment program built on the conviction that women founders are one of the most overlooked opportunities in venture capital today.
     
    “Over the past five years, we’ve seen a repeating pattern: exceptional women building rigorous businesses but reaching institutional capital later and on worse terms than their performance justifies,” says Ghassemi-Smith.
     
    She stated that the success stories of the top 10  finalists underscore the calibre of startups the initiative intends to back.
     
    Also speaking, Chief Growth Businesses Officer, inDrive, Andries Smit, explained that “We built inDrive against all odds, competing against better-funded incumbents. We see the same thing playing out with women founders in emerging markets today. Backing Aurora Ventures is not charity; it is the same bet we made on ourselves.”
     
    The 2026 pilot program focuses on building an initial portfolio and generating the track record necessary to transition into a formal GP/LP fund structure. By providing capital, network access, and operational guidance, Aurora Ventures seeks to accelerate portfolio companies toward subsequent funding rounds on more equitable terms.
