India’s solar expansion faces delays from weak construction discipline

|
By Madiha Syed, Shashikant Yadav
| PV Magazine Verified
From pv magazine India As of August 2025, India’s solar capacity had surged to 123.13 GW, a testament to the country’s growth story in clean energy. In just the first half of 2025, India added 18 GW to this capacity, marking a 31% rise over last year’s figure. Yet, persistent bottlenecks in the construction and execution of solar projects threaten this growth. These bottlenecks particularly affect large-scale solar projects, which account for 86% of India’s solar capacity.

By Devendra Kumar, Rudramani Tiwari, Dipendra Kumar Verma, Shashikant Yadav
| Royal Society of Chemistry Verified
Negative Capacitance Based on Isomeric Polythiophene in Action In this study, we demonstrated that arranging positive and negative capacitance materials in series, based on isomeric polythiophene, led to a notable increase in total capacitance. Furthermore, the application of negative capacitance (NC) technology in supercapacitors (SCs) construction offers the potential for energy storage capabilities surpassing fundamental limits.

How is social media changing news?

It gives "the marginalised" access to information and allows them to mobilise, organise, strategise. On the flip side, it helps fascism.
