Citing growing #electricity needs, Tamil Nadu CM recently announced 2 new 800 MW coal units at Thoothukudi. We find that #renewables offer less expensive, more viable and climate-friendly options to meet power demand
Solar + BESS is cheaper and yields financial benefits:
☀️Cheaper tariffs: INR5 /unit
☀️Financial savings: up to INR 16,384 crore by the fifth year
☀️Faster cost recovery: Additional capex can be recovered in 2 years
Given the economic situation Tamil Nadu is in and the clear financial benefits of solar PV and battery storage, it makes no financial sense to build new coal plants to meet growing electricity demand. Read full brief at climateriskhorizons.com/2026…

Read the highlights from our latest report evaluating #emission reduction targets for iron & steel, cement, and aluminium sectors under India's carbon market.
Why India's carbon-market targets for iron and steel industry fall short of action ow.ly/N4UH106BzyY
NEW REPORT 🚨 | India’s emissions reduction targets to build its #carbon market lack ambition and won’t discourage pollution, our latest report has found.
Full report: climateriskhorizons.com/2026…
The report recommends:
✅referring to intl best practices calling for reserve price floors & stability reserve mechanisms
✅including big emitters like the power sector in next iteration & setting ambitious targets
✅Strengthening incentives for low-carbon industrial adoption
The GHG intensity rules are a long-overdue step toward India's carbon market, but need transparent, increasingly ambitious targets to drive clean tech.

The coal "jump" that wasn't.
Complete data for May:
-total global coal imports +0.3% yoy
-thermal coal imports -7%!
March-May:
-total coal imports -2%
-thermal coal imports -6%
Met coal imports rose 7% in March-May, but that was just a partial reversal of an 8% drop in 2025.
🚨New report | 🧥Tamil Nadu’s textile sector can save between Rs. 1,560 crore - Rs. 2,770 crore a year, by switching fully to #RenewableEnergy & replacing low-efficiency #fossilfuel and wood-based boilers with electric boilers running on #renewables.
State-level textile associations should:
✅explore joint renewable procurement mechanisms
✅advocate for policy support & concessional finance by convening brands, government bodies, suppliers, & financial institutions to deliver a state-level decarbonisation roadmap
