Sustainable Energy: Powering India’s Offices

Picture this - despite around 43% of the installed power capacity of India being renewable, coal-based thermal power still contributes to almost 75% of its power generation. However, the country is making rapid strides towards achieving its ambitious goal of meeting 50% of its energy requirements from renewable energy by 2030*.

• What are the different renewable energy options available to corporates and how can they access those? 
• How are leading office developers in India aligned with sustainable power?
