APRIL, 20269Tesla India, the EV giant, has been in a move to entice even more customers into buying through the introduction of new initiatives, an EMI scheme and exchange incentives, in an effort to address the poor sales in India.Tesla India is also providing customers who are replacing their petrol and diesel vehicles with electric vehicles with a 3 lakh exchange incentive as a measure to make the shift to a cleaner form of mobility more affordable.Also, the Tesla Model Y has become more affordable to the company with monthly payments that start at 49,000 and have a small down payment of only 6 lakh. Such a drastic decrease in the price of entry is likely to increase the sales of premium electric cars in the country. Tesla India started selling Model Y in September of the previous year. Union Minister Pralhad Joshi announced that India achieved its highest-ever yearly growth in wind energy, adding 6.1 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity during the 2025­26 financial year. The milestone reflects the country's increasing focus on renewable energy and sustainable power generation.The minister described the achievement as a major step in India's clean energy journey. The strong growth highlights rising investment and continued support The government of India has revised aviation turbine fuel norms under a new order aimed at modernizing India's aviation fuel framework and supporting cleaner air travel. The updated rules, issued by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, expand what can be classified as aviation turbine fuel and open the door for alternative and blended energy sources.The revision of the aviation turbine fuel norms allows broader fuel composition, including synthetic hydrocarbons, blended components, and pathways for sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), reflecting India's shift toward lower-emission aviation. It also permits ethanol blending and other alternative inputs that can reduce dependence on traditional fossil-based jet fuel. The Andhra Pradesh solar manufacturing project worth Rs 5,400 crore has taken a major step forward with its official groundbreaking, marking a fresh boost to India's clean energy manufacturing drive.The solar manufacturing project is aimed at building large-scale solar production capacity within the state, reducing reliance on imports and strengthening domestic supply chains.The initiative reflects growing investment momentum in renewable energy infrastructure as India accelerates its transition toward solar power. The project is expected to include advanced manufacturing units for solar cells and modules, along with supporting infrastructure to streamline production and distribution.The Andhra Pradesh solar manufacturing project is also expected to attract significant private sector participation, strengthening the state's position as a renewable energy hub. Officials believe the investment will support local industrial growth while creating new opportunities in high-value manufacturing. product sub-categories in four major segments and an incentive rate of 4-15 per cent in five years starting FY26.
