According to industry reports, the southern states (Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Telangana &Andhra Pradesh) have 1,526 GW of solar energy potential and 1,124 GW of wind energy potential, making them the major contributors to India’s renewable energy ambitions. Organising RenewX 2022 in the southern part of the country with important initiatives like CEO Conclave and RenewX Awards will no doubt encourage buyers to invest in newer clean energy technologies and help India to achieve its renewable energy target,” he added.

The Indian Government’s favourable schemes and policies which includes green hydrogen and green ammonia policy, schemes in solar module and battery manufacturing, green energy corridor schemes and privatisation of state-owned assets have created lucrative opportunities for the Indian manufacturers.
