Author: PPD Team Date: 18/10/2024 India is set to become the global engine for energy demand growth through 2035, according to the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) World Energy Outlook 2024. The report highlights India’s rapid expansion, with the country adding more than 12,000 cars daily, increasing built space equivalent to South Africa, and seeing its air-conditioners consume more electricity than Mexico’s total power consumption by 2035. As the world’s third-largest oil consumer, India will increase…
Author: PPD Team Date: 23/04/2025 US trade authorities have confirmed high tariffs on most solar cells imported from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
