Achieving a Just Transition in India with an Effective Carbon Credit Trading Scheme
December 15, 2025
| Energy
India has operationalized the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS), notified in June 2023 under the Energy Conservation (Amendment) Act, 2022, establishing a domestic carbon market that builds on the earlier Perform, Achieve, and Trade (PAT) framework. Administered by the Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE) under the Ministry of Power, the scheme includes both a compliance mechanism for large “obligated entities” across key industrial sectors and a voluntary offset mechanism.
Study on comparative assessment of vehicular fuels in India’s energy transition: A multi- dimensional approach
December 5, 2025
| Energy
India, the world’s third-largest energy consumer, relies on fossil fuels for about 80 per cent of its energy needs, with coal dominating electricity generation (70 per cent) and expected to grow further despite renewable expansion targets. At the same time, India has committed to significant decarbonization goals, including a 47 per cent reduction in emissions intensity by 2035.
Future-In-Charge: Skilling Program for India’s Charging Infrastructure
December 1, 2025
| TERI Knowledge Resource Centre
The adoption of electric vehicles in India is steadily increasing, driven by growing environmental awareness, supportive government policies, and subsidies. Among the key enablers of this transition, such as access to finance and consumer awareness, the availability of robust charging infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and structured training play a crucial role.

Beginning in November 2025, TERI has been assigned to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of works, including previous maintenance executed under the Haryana CAMPA in the years 2018–2023.
Enhancing women’s empowerment as employees and entrepreneurs in decentralised renewable energy
September 20, 2025
| Energy Access
India’s transition toward climate-resilient and decentralized renewable energy (DRE) systems presents a significant opportunity to advance inclusive development. Across rural and peri-urban regions, DRE technologies are increasingly being promoted to improve energy access, strengthen livelihoods, and support climate adaptation.
Evaluation of MGIRED Training Programme
September 19, 2025
| Land
The Mahatma Gandhi Institute of Rural Energy and Development (MGIRED) is a Karnataka government-supported institution focused on rural energy, sustainability, and natural resource management through training, research, and advisory services. It conducts capacity-building programs for diverse stakeholders, including local representatives, self-help groups (SHGs), youth, and government officials, with the aim of enhancing awareness and skill development. However, the absence of a structured follow-up system has limited insights into training outcomes.
