New Delhi, 29 Jan (UNI) The Economic Survey of India 2025-26, tabled in Parliament on Thursday by Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs, Nirmala Sitharaman, highlighted the dearth of materials and battery storage technologies as the two major hurdles India faces for shifting to a low-carbon economy, energy sources, and wider adoption of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power. Despite the progress in expanding non-fossil fuel energy, challenges remain. The survey cautioned that rapid introduction of complex energy systems without adequate buffers, redundancy, and institutional capacity could make the system fragile rather than thriving. It also identified material shortages and storage requirements as key roadblocks to greater utilisation of renewable energy. To meet the energy security and transition goals to mitigate global warming, the survey highlighted that India’s energy transition is being pursued through a combination of initiatives across various sectors, including nuclear, solar, and wind energy, green hydrogen, battery storage, and critical minerals.
