Just as the world was on the mend post multiple waves of COVID, the Russia-Ukraine conflict induced a trail of irreversible economic, social and political effects. Global inflation touched an all-time high of >8% with many developed economies witnessing double digit inflation figures for the first time in many decades. This led the central banks across the globe to simultaneously hike interest rates in a bid to tame inflation. Repercussions of the conflict were also visible in disrupted trade relations and spiralling energy prices resulting in severe global energy crunch leading to significant diversion from the otherwise chartered growth paths. While the ramifications were evident all over the world, Europe was hit the hardest. As Europe braved an unprecedented energy crisis, people worldwide realized the importance of self-reliance for energy and consequentially, countries advanced their climate goals. This turbocharged the growth momentum of renewables and green sources. As supply chain disruptions and rise in commodity prices posed a temporary retardant to this growth story, bulk of low-carbon investments were directed towards building resilient supply ecosystems along with renewable capacities. Having weathered the storm in 2022, this year the economies will be seen establishing their redefined pathways.

INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The Indian economy remained remarkably resilient to global challenges in F.Y. 2022-23. This is evident by robust domestic demand and upbeat investment activity. Sectoral analysis reveals that growth was driven by robust construction activity aided by increased infrastructure investment both by the Central Government and State Governments, which paved the way for large-scale employment opportunities. Building on the gains of first half of the fiscal year, the second half continued to see a gradual upswing in demand and economic activity.

The push for renewables continued in line with the governments target of achieving 500 GW of installed electricity capacity from non-fossil sources by 2030, aided through a slew of measures and schemes announced during the year. The government released new renewable purchase obligation (RPO) targets by creating an exclusive category of wind energy to boost the segment and also released guidelines for the second tranche of Productivity-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme worth ^ 19,500 crore for solar manufacturing. However, growth trajectory was marred by increase in the cost of polysilicon and supply chain disruptions emanating from China resulting in almost a 40% increase in the price of solar PV modules. Since September, 2022, owing to drop in polysilicon prices, there has been a gradual reduction in the module prices which boded well for the solar developers.
