Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani are profiting from a surge in global commodity prices triggered by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, burnishing their fossil-fuel credentials even as Asia's richest men publicly push their pivots toward greener energy.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi surprised many at the Glasgow climate summit by setting a 2070 net-zero goal for the country, but it's the ambitious targets that come before that date that may determine the nation's green success.

Coal-fired power stations have an average of four days' worth of stock of the fuel, according to the latest data, and more than half the plants are already on alert for outages. Power Minister Raj Kumar Singh has warned.

The race between tycoons Mukesh Ambani and rival Gautam Adani is heating up, with the two billionaires going head-to-head to try claim the title of world leaders in renewable energy.

Along the Arabian Sea, Jamnagar is a money-making machine for Asia's richest man, Mukesh Ambani, processing crude oil into fuel, plastics and chemicals.

A drive to reduce dependence on imported materials and technology, especially from China, is pushing India to invest in a battery technology that uses aluminium rather than lithium as the key ingredient.

India must phase out its coal-fired power plants by the middle of this century to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by that time, according to a new report on the challenges that'll be posed in setting more ambitious climate targets.

As Covid-19 infections across India rise beyond the two-million mark, the country's energy companies are coming up with novel solutions to keep the virus at bay and their operations running.

The states of Haryana and Gujarat, also manufacturing hubs, saw electricity requirement growing at a weaker 2.9 per centand 5.3 per cent compared with the previous year's 7.5 per cent and 8.8 per cent, respectively.

The 10 synthetic gasifiers that make up the project are now finally commissioned. But the imported LNG they're meant to displace has fallen from about $15 per million British thermal units in 2012 to less than $5.

A string of successful bets on ports, mining and commodities helped transform Gautam Adani from a nondescript diamond trader into a tycoon with a net worth of $10 billion.

Mr Adani bought the resource in Australia's Galilee Basin in 2010 as companies rushed for overseas energy supplies amid forecasts of booming demand.
