Heat Stress Monitoring for Outdoor Workers, Powered by EHI-N*
SHRAM provides real-time heat stress monitoring across India using EHI-N*, a physiologically-based model calibrated to MET levels developed by the IECC team. EHI-6* estimates heat stress experienced by workers doing heavy labor in direct sunlight.

Scaling data-driven heat action planning using CHAITRA – City Heat Action Intelligence and Risk Atlas
Over 250 Indian cities have adopted Heat Action Plans (HAPs), but fewer than a handful include ward-level vulnerability assessments or translate risk data into quantified intervention needs.
Opinion: How SECI’s thermal mimic auction for clean energy producers has changed the game in India
India has moved from procuring cheap renewable energy to procuring firm renewable power shaped around when consumers need it.
India’s Renewable Energy Breakthrough: Coal-Like Reliability at a Lower, Fixed Price
Firm renewable power at Rs 5.25: reliable, inflation-proof, and below every coal PPA India signed in 2025.
Economic and Employment Benefits of Low-Cost and Domestically Produced Clean Energy
India’s clean-energy transition is an industrial, employment, and external-sector strategy, not only a decarbonization agenda. India imports about half of its primary energy and 87% of its crude oil.
A roadmap for electric trucks
India’s freight runs largely on diesel, leaving the economy vulnerable to global oil-price shocks and exchange-rate volatility.
India’s Aviation Opportunity: Turning Agricultural Residue and Low-Cost Solar into Competitive Sustainable Aviation Fuel with Power-and-Biomass-to-Liquids
IECC and Energy Innovation analysis indicates that India can produce power-and-biomass-to-liquids (PBtL) sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) at costs up to 40 percent below prevailing global benchmarks. Two domestic advantages underpin this result: among the lowest green-hydrogen costs observed internationally, and a large, increasingly organised supply of agricultural residue.
Opinion: India’s cheapest power is here, the grid must catch up
The country’s clean-energy future depends on faster, smarter grid expansion and optimisation
Opinion: Why India’s Heat Planning is in the Hot Seat
India’s cities are facing record heatwaves, with temperatures nearing 48°C and rising risks to public health, workers and urban livability. This in-depth analysis explains why India’s heat planning is under scrutiny, how Heat Action Plans, early warning systems and tools like CHAITRA and EHI-N aim to build targeted, people-centric heat resilience, and why integrated, long-term strategies are critical for climate adaptation.
Electrifying Industrial Heat in India
On June 3rd, 2026, the India Energy & Climate Center (IECC) at UC Berkeley and Energy Innovation hosted a webinar on industrial heat decarbonization in India. Authors from both organizations present the report’s key findings — including why solar-powered electric heat is already cheaper than oil and gas for Indian manufacturers, and what policies can accelerate the transition. The presentation was followed by an engaging open Q&A session.
