A new study finds that Delhi's rising power demand, especially at night, requires accelerated deployment of rooftop solar, battery storage, and demand-side flexibility. Despite existing policy support, Delhi's unique energy transition depends heavily on distributed renewables and clean power procurement due to limited local generation capacity.
