India's energy sector is undergoing a notable transition with a year-on-year decline in power demand in June 2025, while renewable energy sources, particularly solar power, are gaining momentum. Coal stockpiles have increased, and electricity prices on the Indian Energy Exchange (IEX) have cooled. India currently ranks third globally in wind and solar energy production, following China and the United States, driven by strong policy measures, effective state-level implementation, and growing adoption across various sectors. Australia is playing a supportive role in India's energy transition, with the Australian High Commissioner to India, Philip Green OAM, highlighting Australia's position as a leader in rooftop solar, lithium, and other climate strategies. Australia has brought the largest single-country delegation, comprising over 22 companies, to the India Energy Storage Week, emphasizing its commitment to supporting India's clean energy goals. Green also noted Australia's advanced innovation, technology, and educational institutions that can assist in scaling and globalizing renewable energy efforts and skilling the Indian workforce. The shift away from fossil fuels toward renewables is increasingly seen as essential beyond climate change concerns.
