Our cover story 'Logistics Clouding Coal’ looks at how coal crisis could have been avoided with better co-ordination among stakeholders, though weak logistics support and lack of preparedness on the part of power plants are to be blamed for the recent coal shortage at power plants. The Renew cover story on Solar titled ‘Cloud over Solar’, highlights that despite the government is tweaking policies to encourage solar power capacity addition, the rising equipment cost is threatening to spoil the party.
Our feature on Power Generation Equipment titled ‘A buoyant market ahead’ finds that though the BTG stakeholders are still keeping their fingers crossed on demand growth, the experts are seeing the green shoots. In a report on Oil & Gas ‘Indian Sector Outlook Stable’ rating leading agency Fitch expects Indian state-owned oil & gas companies to undergo large debt-funded consolidation in 2018.
