Projects
Feasibility report and DPR for installation of roof top grid connected power
February 4, 2017 to February 5, 2018
| Completed Project
Under the project, 44 buildings of GHMC was surveyed for feasibility for developing rooftop solar PV projects. The buildings are distributed across Hyderabad in five zones which are North Zone 7 buildings; East Zone 16 buildings; West Zone 4 buildings; South Zone 9 buildings; Central Zone 8 buildings.
Increasing rail share in freight transport in India
February 1, 2017 to September 30, 2018
| Completed Project
| Transport
Indian Railways was once the largest freight transport carrier in the country, but its share in freight mobility has been rapidly reducing – a decline from 39% in 2002-03 to 27% in 2014-15. Road-based freight transport, which is more energy and emission-intensive, has grown at the expense of the Indian Railways.
Workshop on "Effective and efficient realization of the extensive bioenergy resources of India"
December 22, 2016 to March 31, 2017
| Completed Project
The workshop was organized to stress the importance of bioenergy and biofuels from biomass, to streamline bioenergy options from various feedstocks and to facilitate effective and sustainable utilization of bioresources for energy. A study is also planned to be conducted after the workshop whereby the discussions from the workshop would be used as pointers for investigation.
Source Apportionment of PM2.5 & PM10 of Delhi NCR for Identification of Major Sources
November 22, 2016 to March 31, 2017
| Completed Project
| Environment | Air
This study carried out source apportionment of PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations in Delhi-National capital region (NCR) using two modelling-based approaches. The first approach relied upon monitoring and chemical characterization of PM2.5 and PM10 samples. The chemically speciated samples along with source profiles were fed into the receptor model to derive source contributions.

October 14, 2016 to August 31, 2018
| Completed Project
| Resources & Sustainable Development
A shift to renewables and infrastructure vulnerability to extreme climactic events are among the challenges the sector faces
Mainstreaming sustainable social housing in India: findings and insights from the MaS-SHIP project
October 1, 2016 to December 31, 2017
| Completed Project
| Buildings
As the Government of India aims to construct 12 million social housing dwelling units through the Housing for All by 2022 programme, the pressure to deliver in a timely, and cost-effective way, will increase.
Improving Sustainable Energy Access among SC/ST households in Chamarajanagar District of Karnataka – A pilot study
September 1, 2016 to October 31, 2018
| Completed Project
| Energy Access
Modern energy access for basic lighting and cooking needs is fundamental to human development. In India there is a large gap between demand and supply of appropriate energy services. More than 40% of India’s rural households and more than 5% urban households do not have electricity and are primarily dependent on kerosene or wick lamps to meet basic lighting needs.
Impact Assessment of increasing solar PV penetration into the Indian electricity distribution grid
September 1, 2016 to February 29, 2020
| Completed Project
As a part of its efforts to decarbonize the power sector, India has an ambitious plan for achieving 175GW of installed capacity from renewable energy sources, comprising 100GW of solar including 40GW of rooftop solar PV.
Understanding how climate effects health in the Indian context
August 31, 2016 to August 30, 2017
| Completed Project
| Environment & Public Health
TERI's role is capacity building, outreach and awareness generation for a community of practice. We would be a secretariat, and have a website to network. We need to define a Strategic Plan along with the existing advisory group. The network has close to 70 members working on climate change.
