India's Reusable Energy(RE) investments dropped 65.8% YoY to $3.37B in Q1 2026 from $9.84B in Q1 2025; down 40.5% QoQ from $5.66B. IEEFA cites grid bottlenecks and curtailment risks driving caution.
RE capacity reached 275 GW by Mar 31, 2026 (51% of total). 470 GWh clean power curtailed in Q1 2026; 300 GWh from transmission constraints. Mar 30 losses hit 34 GWh, equal to daily use of 5M urban homes.
India met ~80% of transmission targets over the last 5 years. FY27 ISTS target is 25,146 ckm, but one of four major schemes is already over a year late. Consequently, 20 GW RE capacity faces >4-month connectivity delays in FY27.
Ember identifies the core issue as the mismatch between rapid RE build-out and lagging transmission readiness, necessitating co-optimal generation and grid planning. #Solar #Energy

A DGTR report estimates India could save $3 billion annually in foreign exchange by imposing anti-dumping duties on 56 imported products (chemicals, industrial goods, fibres, polymers, feedstock), many sourced cheaply from China.
The study projects ₹28,540 crore in annual savings and notes a ₹11,938 crore economic loss to domestic industry from non-implementation. India has acted on only 59.5% of DGTR recommendations since 2020. The report argues these duties protect manufacturing, reduce import dependence, and impact inflation by only fractions of a basis point. #Economy

Hyderabad-based Dhruva Space is quietly scaling fast.
The company is now building a 280,000 sq ft satellite manufacturing facility in Hyderabad.
Already achieved:
• Launched Thybolt-1 & 2 via ISRO PSLV in 2022
• Completed 15,000+ Earth orbits
• Raised $21M+ funding
Next phase:
500 kg-class satellites, large-scale spacecraft manufacturing and hosted payload missions.
India’s private #space ecosystem is slowly getting very real. #Startups

Options on table:
• Cut LTCG tax from 12.5% on listed equity/bonds held 1+ years
• reduce 20% withholding tax on FPI interest from G-Secs.
• curb outward remittances by halving LRS limit from $250,000.
Forex reserves fell $39.6B (5.4%) Feb-May to $688.89B after peaking at $728.49B in Feb. Rupee hit record low near 97 vs USD in May, down 7% in 2026. Govt also weighing curbs on gold imports to save forex. #Economy

Bengal-based Rashmi Group announced a fresh investment plan of ₹35,000 crore in West Bengal across the steel, power and mining sectors. Over ₹30,000 crore would be invested to expand its iron and steel manufacturing capacity by an additional 7 million tonnes per annum (MTPA), while another ₹5,000 crore would be spent on operationalising three coal mines acquired in Birbhum and Paschim Bardhaman districts. #MakeInIndia

₹6.01 lakh crore in just 90 days.
From 38 to 483 projects.
India’s infrastructure is in superfast lane.🛣⚡️🚉
The Q4 FY26 Infra Report Card presents significant numbers ✅
→ Projects added: 38 → 483 (12x jump).
→ Total cost: ₹53,213 cr → ₹6.01 lakh crore.
→ Roads & Highways leading with 439 projects (₹4.12 lakh cr).
→ Power, Coal, Urban Transport, Oil & Gas, Healthcare, Railways also saw solid additions.
This reflects a well-coordinated strategy across ministries, from Ministry of Road Transport & Highways to Power, Coal, Jal Shakti, and Railways, to fast-track projects under the Gati Shakti framework.
Broader Implications:
1. Accelerated economic activity in Tier-2/3 cities.
2. Employment generation at massive scale.
3. Improved Ease of Doing Business & logistics efficiency.
4.Strong foundation for ‘Make in India’ and export growth. #Infra

India captured the global smartphone market share.
Now, PLI 2.0 is about winning the supply chain. Time to push local value addition past 55%. 📲
With PLI 1.0 wrapping up, the Finance Ministry and MeitY are tightening the screws for the next phase. The Expenditure Finance Committee is demanding stricter localization thresholds.
The Core Blueprint:
📍 PLI 2.0 will aggressively subsidize companies localizing high-value components (display assemblies, camera modules, batteries). It aligns perfectly with the 75 component manufacturing facilities currently being built under the ₹40,000 Cr ECMS umbrella.
📍 The Numbers: India is aiming to leapfrog from 18-20% local value addition to over 55%. This sits on top of a massive foundation: the previous scheme generated ₹11.01 Lakh Cr in total production, exceeding it's initial benchmark at 136%.
📍 While ratings firms like ICRA note that a 55% target is highly ambitious for a still-developing ecosystem, this is a necessary structural play. #MakeinIndia #Tech
