India’s economy is embracing renewable energy at a rapid pace

There is a strong two-way relationship between economic development and energy consumption. On one hand, growth of an economy, with its global competitiveness, hinges on the availability of cost-effective and environmentally benign energy sources, and on the other hand, the level of economic development has been observed to be reliant on energy demand.

India’s energy requirements have grown significantly since market reforms were initiated by the Government of India in the 1990s. Energy sector reforms, capacity addition and improvement in existing infrastructure are the government’s primary focus areas as energy is a key necessity for meeting the country’s high economic growth expectations.

The focus is on strengthening of distribution and transmission infrastructure, development of hydropower, conventional power, energy storage and atomic energy. Customer services enhancements such as enabling new connections, security deposits, bill payments, lodging of complaints and reconnections through digital platforms are critical to be future ready.

In modern vehicles, flatwires are used in a number of areas such as battery packs and high voltage systems which enable high current transmission with better thermal dissipation. They are also used in emotors and inverters due to better power density and higher cooling efficiency. Flat wires are also more modular and support a zonal architecture which is becoming common in next generation vehicles and reduces wiring complexity. It also fits easily in confined spaces and makes harnesses plug and play, enabling modular repair and upgrades.
