India wasted 300 GWh of clean power in Q1 2026 as coal plants ignored the 40% minimum load mandate, blocking solar from the grid.
Curtailment was due to transmission constraints and thermal plants not reducing output, citing higher costs, reduced plant life, and no clarity on compensation. The deadline is now pushed to 2027.
34 GWh was curtailed on March 30, 2026 alone. 20 GW of renewable capacity faces 5+ month connectivity delays in FY27, and 25% of transmission projects for 2026-27 are delayed over a year.
Coal plant load factors fell to 55% in 2023-24 from 85% in 2009-10, expected to hit 40%. #Power

🎉 Green-era transmission expansion is now mainstream.
Bihar is shifting to TBCB for intra-state transmission. BSPTCL and RECPDCL signed an MoU to develop projects via tariff-based competitive bidding, moving away from monopoly buildouts.
*Goal:* Modernize the grid, cut transmission losses, improve power quality, boost private participation, and support Bihar’s 2025–30 industrial growth.
Since 2013, six major TBCB projects with Bihar footprint have been commissioned, including ERSS-XIX in Dec 2025. No Bihar-specific TBCB projects are under construction as of April 2026, per CEA. #Power

🔥 🔥 Andhra Pradesh-based AnduraX is preparing India's first high-altitude drop test for its reusable spaceplane, aiming for an orbital re-entry mission by 2028.
The ADM-01 (ARES Drop Mission 1) test, scheduled for the first week of June, will drop an experimental vehicle from a high-altitude balloon at 25,000 metres to simulate near-stratospheric conditions.
The goal is to collect data for developing guidance, navigation, control systems, and precision landing capabilities for the ARES reusable re-entry vehicle.
ARES aims to enable space manufacturing and microgravity research for pharma, materials, #semiconductors. #Space

🔥 🔥 Red Balloon Aerospace launched Mission SANA on May 27, 2026 — India’s first indigenous super-pressure balloon VISTA to 25 km from Vijayawada.
Founded in 2025, it hit commercial flight in 8 months with 7 payloads from national/international partners, all successful. India joins an 5 nation special club of US, France, Japan, China in stratospheric balloon capability.
VISTA offers weeks-long persistent ops for telecom, disaster monitoring, earth observation at fraction of satellite costs.
Next: expand VISTA, develop HELIX airship, ALTIS aerostat. #space

Supreme Court has invoked its powers under Article 142 of the Constitution and issued binding directions to all High Courts to curb delays in the pronouncement of judgments.
A bench led by CJI Surya Kant directed all High Courts to pronounce reserved judgments within three months. It ordered courts to deliver bail orders on the same day or, if reserved, on the next day.
The Court also directed immediate communication of regular bail orders to trial courts and said undertrial prisoners granted bail should be released the same day, subject to formalities.
All judgments once pronounced must be uploaded on High Court websites within 24 hours, the Court observed.
