India's Ministry of Power has released the draft National Electricity Policy 2026, which sets ambitious targets to increase per capita electricity consumption and aims for a 45% reduction in emissions intensity by 2030. The policy includes provisions for annual tariff revisions, exemptions for certain sectors, and a significant focus on renewable energy, energy storage, and nuclear power expansion. Stakeholder feedback is being sought to align the initiative with the government's vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047.
