Continue ReadingA study by the India Energy and Climate Centre (IECC) at UC Berkeley reveals that pairing solar generation with battery storage can supply continuous, firm renewable energy at ₹5.15 per unit—outperforming the ₹5.25–₹5.26 per unit rate established in SECI’s 1,000 MW round-the-clock (RTC) auction. Analyzing a decade of hourly meteorological data across 10 Indian states, […]
Continue ReadingTwo of India’s leading IT services firms, TCS and HCL, recently disclosed security incidents involving employee records, emphasizing that client environments and data were not compromised.

Reframing the traditional tech conference into an interactive builder forum, the venue even customized its menu to mirror programming code. This community gathering highlights the AI coding assistant’s rapid growth in the region: Regional […]
Continue ReadingIndia is poised to achieve a record-breaking 50 GW of installed solar capacity in 2026. This massive expansion has been spurred by developers rushing to complete projects prior to the implementation of the Approved List of Models and Manufacturers-II (ALMM-II) regulations, even as supply bottlenecks for solar cells begin to surface. According to a report […]
Continue ReadingA recent analysis by Ember highlights that India’s aggressive solar energy expansion has successfully curbed fossil-fuel power generation during peak daylight hours. In the first half of 2026, fossil-fuel-based output at 1:00 PM dropped by 10 gigawatts compared to the same period in 2023. However, once the sun sets, fossil fuel reliance surges. Over that […]
Continue ReadingImagine a machine capable of solving complex problems in mere minutes—tasks that would take current supercomputers millennia to process. Once confined to the realm of science fiction, this unprecedented processing power represents the reality of quantum computing, widely considered one of the most transformative innovations of the modern era. Traditional computing relies on binary bits […]
