India and Globle renewable energy sector recorded key developments today across solar, wind, Battery Energy Storage System and power transmission segments. Here is your Daily Renewable Energy Roundup India, bringing the most important clean energy project updates, policy moves and corporate announcements
1) Shakti Pumps Secures ₹654 Crore PM-KUSUM Order in Karnataka
Shakti Pumps (India) Limited has received its first Letter of Award from Karnataka Renewable Energy Development Limited for supplying 16,780 standalone off-grid DC solar photovoltaic water pumping systems under PM-KUSUM Component-B. The project will be implemented across Karnataka and is valued at approximately ₹654.03 crore, inclusive of GST, strengthening the company’s position in India’s solar irrigation segment.
2) Andhra Pradesh Government approves Websol Energy System’s 4 GW greenfield solar cell and module manufacturing facility at MPSEZ, Naidupeta.
The project, following an MoU signed in November 2025, aligns with Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat for domestic clean energy self-reliance. It includes a 100 MW captive solar power plant for cost efficiency. approximately ₹3,000 crore (part of the company's phased 4 GW cell + 4 GW module expansion plan). similar large-scale solar projects in the region are expected to generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs, boosting local employment and skills in renewables. This strengthens India's solar manufacturing ecosystem.
3) Adani Group, announced by Karan Adani at Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference (Rajkot, Jan 11, 2026), will invest ₹1.5 lakh crore in Kutch over the next 5 years.
completing 37 GW Khavda renewable park by 2030, doubling Mundra Port capacity, plus logistics and green projects. such large-scale investments typically generate tens of thousands of direct and indirect jobs, supporting Gujarat’s industrial growth and Viksit Bharat vision.
4) Reliance Industries, announced by Mukesh Ambani at the Vibrant Gujarat Regional Conference in Rajkot
on January 11, 2026, will invest ₹7 lakh crore in Gujarat over the next five years—doubling the previous ₹3.5 lakh crore commitment. transforming Jamnagar into the world’s largest integrated clean energy ecosystem (solar, battery storage, green hydrogen, sustainable fuels) and a multi-gigawatt utility-scale solar project in Kutch for round-the-clock renewable power. The investments are expected to generate large-scale employment and livelihoods across Gujarat, supporting economic growth, (similar mega projects typically create tens of thousands of direct/indirect roles). This aligns with India's green energy leadership and Viksit Bharat goals.
5) Egypt signed renewable energy agreements worth $1.8 billion on January 11, 2026, witnessed by Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly in the Suez Canal Economic Zone.
Norwegian firm Scatec (for the 1.95 GW solar + 3.9 GWh battery storage "Energy Valley" project in Minya, Upper Egypt) and China's Sungrow (for a battery energy storage manufacturing factory in SCZONE, supplying the Minya project).These support Egypt's target of 42% renewables in power mix by 2030, with local manufacturing focus. The Sungrow factory alone is expected to create 150 direct. The overall projects will generate additional construction and operational employment (thousands anticipated in similar large-scale initiatives), boosting local skills and green transition.
6) Envision Energy (Chinese green tech leader) signed a 630 MW wind turbine supply agreement plus a 30-year long-term service contract with Casa dos Ventos (Brazil's largest renewable developer) on January 8, 2026.
This marks Envision's first net-zero wind deployment in Brazil, using customized 8.x MW Galileo AI turbines for optimized onshore projects. Casa dos Ventos leads development; Envision supplies turbines and services. Expected to create green jobs through construction, operations, and local supply chains—large-scale wind projects like this typically generate thousands of direct/indirect roles, boosting Brazil's energy transition and socioeconomic benefits.
7) India Calls for Global Cooperation at IRENA Assembly
At the IRENA Assembly, Union Minister Pralhad Joshi called for stronger global cooperation to support developing nations in scaling renewable energy. He emphasized the need for affordable financing, technology transfer, and international partnerships to ensure an inclusive and equitable global energy transition.
