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.
View current conditions by district, 3-day forecasts, and sign up for personalized alerts when hazardous heat levels are detected.
CHAITRA provides ward-level decision support for heat resilience in Indian cities using satellite data and the IPCC AR6 risk framework. Developed by IECC team, it identifies which wards face compound heat risk, what interventions each requires, and what they cost.
View priority wards by layer, generate resource estimates, and export reports for departmental budget planning.

Strategic Pathways for Energy Storage in India through 2032
India’s electricity demand is witnessing a rapid surge, nearly doubling every decade, fueled by strong economic growth. Dramatic cost reductions over the last decade for wind, solar, and battery storage technologies position India to leapfrog to a more flexible, robust, and sustainable power system for delivering affordable and reliable power to serve the growing power needs.
HTLS conductors can cost-effectively future-proof India’s electricity grid
As India’s electricity demand grows rapidly, the country has a $100 billion plan for major grid expansion by 2032 which includes increasing the length of the transmission network by over 40%. This massive investment offers an opportunity to think strategically about future-proofing grid expansion.
Plummeting Solar+Storage Auction Prices in India Unlock Affordable, Inflation-Proof 24/7 Clean Power
Plummeting costs of solar and battery storage in India along with technological improvements are opening new opportunities for clean and low-cost power generation. Recent energy storage auctions in India reveal record-low prices, with unsubsidized standalone battery storage bids at 2.8 lacs/MW/month and solar+storage bids at 3.1–3.5 INR/kWh.
Doubling the Pace of Deployment of Renewable Energy Capacity in India
Due to rapid economic growth, urbanization, and industrialization, India’s electricity demand is expected to nearly double in the next decade. The electricity demand in the country has grown at an average of 6-7% in the last three years. 250 GW peak demand was met in May 2024, up from 240 GW in September 2023, and is projected to touch 270 GW in summer 2025.
