India is stepping up its renewable energy game with innovative Round-The-Clock (RTC) and Firm and Dispatchable Renewable Energy (FDRE) auctions, moving beyond traditional plain vanilla auctions. With a goal to reach 500 GW of renewable capacity by 2030, and net-zero emissions by 2070, this strategic shift is crucial.
