This book covers the ongoing efforts of the Government of India to manage water in sustainable and equitable ways. It provides a snapshot of the major policies, schemes, and missions adopted by India related to water management in the last two decades. The schemes are organised within seven themes.
India’s automotive sector is on the brink of something new. On the one hand, sales of traditional internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEV) have been slow to bounce back to pre-pandemic levels.
The Government of India has passed an amendment to the Energy Conservation Act 2001, which lays the foundation for the Indian Carbon Market. Under this backdrop, CEEW conducted an industry stakeholder discussion to understand their concerns and perspectives.
The study explores learnings, evidence, and recommendations on creating sustainable livelihood opportunities for rural women emanating from gender-forward initiatives deployed by the Powering Livelihoods (PL) programme to mainstream women in the Distributed renewable energy (DRE) powered livelihoods.
This report provides an updated analysis on direct jobs created from solar and wind energy sectors in India in the financial year 2022 (FY22), building on earlier analyses by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW), the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC), and Skill Council for Green Jobs (SCGJ).
Scaling and stabilising lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing in India is critical to India realising its decarbonisation goals. This issue brief deconstructs the lithium-ion battery cell manufacturing process, estimates the material and finance requirements, and offers a blueprint for a possible indigenisation strategy.

This issue brief presents the case for natural gas pyrolysis as an alternative method of hydrogen production. Incumbent ‘grey’ hydrogen production by steam methane reformation (SMR) inherently produces process CO₂ emissions, as the carbon in natural gas is converted to CO₂.
The Indo-Pacific is home to 4.3 billion people – more than half of humanity. Studies indicate that the Indo-Pacific could meet ~90 per cent of its power demand using renewables such as solar and wind, but this needs a clear and defined vision for its energy future.
India has charted ambitious goals for its energy transition. These include achieving 50% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources. Additionally, it has committed to reducing the emissions intensity of its GDP by 45% (compared to 2005 levels), also by 2030.
