August 26, 2021

| Energy Efficiency

It consists of the following activities. 1) Sharing with IGES reference documents available about technologies, policies and measures to promote energy efficiency in two sectors of textile and foundry of the target states in India. 2) Conducting interviews with related stakeholders. 3) Updating information on financial schemes for Indian small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the JITMAP website.

Just Transition: Understanding the implications of moving away from coal

August 1, 2021

| Energy

It is the need of the hour to take a closer look at the fossil-fuel economy, environment, people, market opportunities and other players/stakeholders. An action research agenda in the coal producing belts could create a ground for further reflection and trigger a futuristic worldview that envisages greater inclusion and equity. While transitioning to the envisaged non-fossil fuel economy in time, it is crucial to map implications of coal phase-out and create a blueprint for a proactive planning and an inclusive, fair and humane transition.

Just Transition Framework for a Sustainable Future in India’s Coal Mining Regions

As India's energy mix diversifies, there is increasing attention on achieving a fair and equitable transition that considers the impacts on workers, communities, the environment, and related industries. To address this, TERI has developed a Just Transition Framework, informed by extensive research in India's eastern coal-belt and engagement with diverse stakeholders.

Accelerating Industrial Decarbonisation in India

July 28, 2021

| Energy Efficiency

This programme aims to build an evidence base and agree on a roadmap for industrial decarbonisation in key sectors by 2024. The sectors include Iron & steel, cement and related micro, small and medium enterprises. The programme envisions to achieve it through relevant frameworks including policies, low carbon technologies, finance and adequate corporate commitment. Major activities to be undertaken are: Developing targets and sectoral roadmaps for low carbon transition in key industries;
