This article sheds light on the hurdles in the adoption of rooftop solar slowing down progress—such as financing constraints, regulatory complexities, and consumer hesitations—and highlights transformative solutions.
To meet its target of 500 GW of Renewable Energy by 2030, India needs to significantly ramp up installations to 65-70 GW each year. Over 80 per cent of this target is expected to come from solar power. Despite significant progress, the penetration of solar energy, particularly rooftop solar (RTS), remains limited due to financial, …

What role does energy efficiency in urban households play in India’s net zero drive? In this blog, we analyse policies and behavioural barriers to suggest ways forward.
Cities like Mumbai and Chennai need to stop overlooking their mangroves, seagrasses, and tidal marshes. Collectively known as blue carbon ecosystems, these spaces are vital in safeguarding urban coastal areas from climate change.
In this article, PULL identifies causes for this lag from our own research. We look at possible future pathways in which rooftop solar will be more widely adopted by India’s urban commercial sector, and how this will shape our cities.
‘Transitioning Urban Transport for Low Carbon Mobility’ was held on October 4th, 2024, where we delved into the multiple approaches to transitioning to low carbon mobility.
Based on the insights derived from our talk, ‘Can Digitalisation and AI Accelerate India’s Energy Transition’, this blog outlines the opportunities and challenges of harnessing artificial intelligence in meeting India’s energy goals.
In this dialogue, we hope to delve into the question of adapting to rising temperatures – exploring the role of policy and heat adaptation plans in addressing the uneven impacts of heat in urban communities, as well as the role of cooling technologies, which demand massive energy consumption and compromise our ability to achieve mitigation goals.
As the world grapples with the complex crisis of climate change, it has become increasingly evident that a robust solution demands an inclusive approach. This year, as we commemorate International Women’s Day under the theme “Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress”, we highlight the crucial role of women’s economic empowerment in promoting equality. The theme “Inspire …
Our recent Talking About Transitions Dialogue, Building a Net Zero Society, unpacked the importance of social transformations to achieve a low carbon transitions in Indian cities. How can we leverage behaviour change, equitable urban planning and innovative planning approaches to create an equitable net zero future?
