| (November, 2025): National Critical Mineral Mission (NCMM) Launched To power India’s Energy Sector transition, this mission focuses on end-to-end value creation—from exploration to recycling—of critical minerals like lithium and rare earth elements. It aims to reduce import dependence and support clean energy technologies through domestic mining and overseas asset acquisition. |
| (October, 2025): Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) Inaugurated India’s largest greenfield airport was inaugurated, enhancing Transport infrastructure. Built at a cost of ₹19,650 crore, it is designed as a carbon-neutral facility and is integrated with multimodal connectivity options like expressways, metro, and water transport to boost regional economic growth. |
| (October, 2025): PM E-DRIVE Scheme Guidelines Released The Ministry of Heavy Industries released operational guidelines for this ₹10,900 crore scheme to accelerate the Energy and Transport transition. It replaces FAME-II, incentivizing electric 2-wheelers, 3-wheelers, buses, and trucks, and funding the installation of 72,300 public charging stations. |
| (October, 2025): KOYLA SHAKTI Dashboard and CLAMP Portal Launched Strengthening Digital Infrastructure in the energy sector, these platforms integrate the entire coal value chain. KOYLA SHAKTI enables real-time monitoring of coal operations, while the CLAMP portal streamlines land acquisition and compensation processes to improve transparency and efficiency. |
| (September, 2025): National Policy on Geothermal Energy 2025 Notified The MNRE released this policy to harness India’s 10 GW geothermal potential. It creates a framework for exploring and deploying geothermal resources for power generation and direct-use applications like cooling and drying, diversifying India’s Renewable Energy mix. |
| (September, 2025): U.K. India Infrastructure Financing Bridge (UKIIFB) Report Marking its first anniversary, the UKIIFB recommended policy changes to de-risk investments in India’s National Infrastructure Pipeline. It aims to mobilize long-term capital for major projects like highways and renewable energy by addressing barriers such as revenue risks and taxation. |
| (September, 2025): Logistics Ease Across Different States (LEADS) 2025 Launched This initiative benchmarks logistics performance across states to support the PM Gati Shakti National Master Plan. It introduces new assessment criteria like real-time corridor performance tracking to enhance efficiency in the Transport and logistics sector. |
| (August, 2025): India’s First Private EO Satellite Constellation under PPP Model n a major Public-Private Partnership (PPP) milestone, IN-SPACe selected a consortium led by PixxelSpace India to build an indigenous Earth Observation satellite constellation. This project will provide high-resolution data for agricultural and disaster management applications. |
| (August, 2025): State Energy Efficiency Index (SEEI) 2024 Released The Bureau of Energy Efficiency released this index to track state-level progress in energy conservation. Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and others were recognized as top performers, encouraging states to align with India’s Energy Sector goals and climate commitments. |
| (June, 2025): India Energy Stack (IES) Task Force Launched The Ministry of Power initiated this task force to build a Digital Public Infrastructure for the Energy Sector. The IES aims to create a secure, interoperable data exchange framework to streamline payments, improve grid management, and facilitate renewable energy integration. |
