Report for the Financial Year Ended March 31, 2025

ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

The global economy demonstrated commendable resilience in 2024, achieving a year-on-year (YoY) growth of 3.3%, following 3.5% growth in 2023. While this represents a marginal moderation, it reflects the ability of economies worldwide to adapt to evolving global dynamics. Strategic policy measures, coupled with increasingly robust supply chains, are expected to lay a strong foundation for long-term stability and sustainable growth. Global GDP is projected to decline to 2.8% in 2025 and 3.0% in 2026, with continued opportunities emerging from innovation, cross-border collaboration, and evolving trade partnerships.

India emerged as the worlds fourth-largest economy in 2025, driven by domestic reforms and its strategic global positioning under the Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision. The economy grew by a healthy 6.5% in FY 2024-25, building on the momentum of recent years. The GDP growth moderated from 9.2% in FY 2023–24, primarily due to the high base effect following the post-COVID-19 recovery. However, Indias fundamentals remained strong, supported by proactive policy interventions and ongoing reforms aimed at stimulating demand.

Inflationary pressures continued to ease, with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) estimated at 4.6% in FY 2024–25, down from 5.4% in the previous year and projected to further decline to 3.7% in FY 2025–26. In a move to bolster economic activity, the Reserve Bank of Indias Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) implemented three policy rate cuts between February and June 2025, reducing the repo rate from 6.50% to 5.50%. The MPC also shifted its policy stance from ‘neutral to ‘accommodative, underscoring its commitment to supporting growth and fostering confidence amid a changing global trade landscape.

The Indian governments recent income tax reductions have increased disposable incomes, particularly for the middle class, by raising the tax exemption threshold from 7 Lakhs to 12 Lakhs per year. This boost in financial resources is expected to drive higher household consumption and increased demand in key sectors like infrastructure and automobiles. Indias economic growth is expected to remain steady at 6.5% in FY 2025-26, driven by moderating inflation, improved agricultural output, stable interest rates and strategic policy measures. Additionally, rising urbanisation and a growing middle class are further strengthening consumer spending across multiple industries. The countrys focus on expanding clean energy capacity is also expected to enhance energy security, lower carbon emissions and support sustained economic growth. India has established itself as the fastest-growing major economy and is projected to reach a GDP of $7.3 trillion by 2030, positioning it as the third-largest globally from the current fourth largest economy, driven by its stable democracy, strong partnerships, strong domestic demand, structural reforms and supportive policies.

INDUSTRY OVERVIEW

Renewable Energy (RE) Market

Global renewable power capacity reached 4,448 GW in 2024, with a record addition of 585 GW during the year. Renewables accounted for 92.5% of total capacity additions, up from 85.8% in 2023, taking their share in global installed power capacity to 46.4% from 43.1% a year earlier. In India, renewable energy sources continued to make strong progress, contributing 48.5% to the countrys total installed power capacity.
