EDITORIAL Dear Energetica India Readers, We are delighted to welcome you to The smarter E India Special – February Edition of Ener- getica India Magazine. Intersolar India, part of the globally renowned Intersolar exhibition series, is one of the coun- try’s leading platforms for the solar industry. Held under The smarter E India, it focuses on photovoltaics, PV production, and solar ther- mal technologies. The event highlights India’s growing leadership in accelerating solar adoption while advancing decarbonisation. This edition will showcase cutting-edge innovations, break- through technologies, and industry leaders shap- ing the future of India’s solar energy landscape. In this edition, we feature exclusive interviews with industry pioneers who are driving the tran- sition to a cleaner, more resilient energy ecosys- tem: • Suhas Donthi, Whole-Time Director, President & CEO, Emmvee Photovoltaic Power Ltd., shares how advanced technology adoption is central to Emmvee’s growth strategy.

Ltd., explains how Icon Solar’s modules are engineered specifically for India’s operating realities—high temperatures, dust-heavy regions, coastal hu- midity, and heavy rainfall zones. • Pankaj Tyagi, VP – Solar and Storage, BluPine Energy, discusses how large-scale battery utili- sation will be essential for India to come close to achieving its national renewable energy installa- tion goals, and how BluPine is aligning its strat- egy accordingly. In our Influential Women in Renewable Ener - gy segment, we celebrate Rutvi Sheth, Director, Advait Greenergy and Head of Strategy & HR, Advait Energy Transitions, for her inspiring con- tributions to the sector. Our feature story, “India’s Solar Manufac- turing Boom: Growth Story or Bubble in the Making?” , explores whether India’s rapidly expanding module capacity, now far outpacing domestic demand, signals sustainable growth or emerging overcapacity risks. As the industry confronts this challenge, strengthening upstream integration will be crucial to securing long-term self-reliance and global competitiveness. Ener- getica India speaks with industry leaders to chart the best path forward. To assess the current land- scape, we spoke with the following experts: • Jatin Arya, Director, CareEdge Ratings • Vinay Thadani, Executive Director and CEO, GREW Solar • Gagan Chanana, Joint MD and CEO, Jakson Solar • Gautam Mohanka, Managing Director, Gautam Solar We also bring you insights from leaders across the renewable energy and EV industries on their reactions to Union Budget 2026–27. The Govern- ment has laid out a comprehensive strategy to se- cure India’s long-term energy future, accelerate the renewable energy transition, and strengthen domestic manufacturing across the power and clean-tech sectors. The Budget introduces major fiscal measures and ambitious schemes to reduce critical import dependence and build a resilient, sustainable energy ecosystem aligned with the vision of a Viksit Bharat.
