This report—a joint effort of CSTEP and RAND Corporation—examines various state-level policy initiatives for solar PV module manufacturing in India. 10 states were chosen based on parameters such as ease of doing business, existing PV installed capacity, etc.

Indigenisation of Lithium ion Battery Manufacturing A Techno-economic Feasibility Assessment

Time series greenhouse gas emission estimates were prepared for the residential, commercial, agriculture and fisheries sectors in India, for the time period of 2005 to 2014, to understand the historical emission changes in these sectors. The emissions were estimated using 2006 methodology of the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change. The results were analysed to identify the major emission contributors in these sectors and were compared with the sectoral national inventories.

This paper compares frameworks and projections of energy consumption, carbon dioxide (CO2) and particulate matter (PM2.5) emissions from India's transportation sector, up to 2050. To understand the role of road transport in energy demand and emissions, five modeling teams developed baseline projections for India's transportation sector as part of intermodal comparison exercise under the Sustainable Growth Working Group (SGWG) of the US-India Energy Dialog.
