India’s march toward developed-nation status hinges on an energy paradigm that is secure, affordable, clean, and geopolitically independent. The Energy Policy program assesses how India can simultaneously meet its fast-growing domestic demand, mitigate strategic vulnerabilities tied to fuel imports, and lead in next-generation clean technologies. With the global transition toward green energy accelerating, India must shape, not merely adapt to, the future energy order so that national development and strategic autonomy reinforce each other.
The Energy Policy program integrates economic, technological, and geostrategic assessments across the entire energy spectrum, encompassing renewables, hydrocarbons, nuclear energy, biofuels, hydrogen, storage, and critical minerals. We analyze priorities such as grid modernization, large-scale manufacturing of clean-energy hardware, investment attraction, resilient supply chains, EV and battery ecosystems, and reliable rural–industrial power access. This Program develops actionable policy roadmaps that support an energy-independent, climate-responsible, and competitiveness-enhancing transition aligned with the national vision of Urja-Aatmanirbharta by 2047.
