Apple is investing 100 crore rupees to expand renewable energy capacity in India. This move supports the company's broader goal of using clean energy across its global supply chain and operations. In other developments, Ampyr is advancing a 67.5 MW solar project in Karnataka. Simultaneously, the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) has issued a Request for Selection (RfS) for green methanol, signaling a push toward sustainable shipping and industrial fuels.

Apple putting 100 crore into India RE is a start, but it is a small drop for a company their size. Still, it helps push the local supply chain toward cleaner power.

The 67.5 MW Ampyr project is the more interesting bit here. I wonder what the interconnection timeline looks like for Karnataka. Grid congestion is usually the real bottleneck for these mid size plants.

The SECI green methanol RfS is the key takeaway. Moving from solar power to actual green molecules is where the policy gets hard. We need to see the pricing benchmarks they are targeting to know if this is viable.

Agreed. If the subsidy structure for that methanol isn't clear, the bids will either be too high or completely unrealistic.
