India’s wind sector is quietly entering a new phase, one that is less about headline capacity numbers and more about grid relevance, industrial depth and long-term strategic value. Mr. Aditya Pyasi, CEO of the Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association (IWTMA) views this transition as a clear departure from the way wind power has historically been positioned in India’s energy landscape. After several years of moderate capacity additions, he believes the industry has turned a corner. Annual installations are accelerating again, supported by a far more structured and predictable renewable tendering roadmap. From today’s installed base of around 55 GW, Mr.…
Shares of Clean Max Enviro Energy Solutions Ltd made a subdued debut on the stock exchanges, listing below their issue price amid mixed investor sentiment in the broader market.
