This four-day event brings together experts from India and abroad to address pressing concerns related to plastic waste management, recycling, and sustainability. The conference aims to promote circularity and discuss innovative solutions for a more sustainable future. Notable attendees include Secretary of the Union Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, **Smt. Nivedita Shukla Verma**, and Joint Secretary of the Union Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, **Smt. Mercy Epao**[^1^] [^3^]. Topics covered include advances in biodegradable plastics, circular economy principles in waste management, and policy frameworks affecting plastics use and recycling[^2^].

More Power Cuts-<\/strong> The report predicts that rising electricity needs in India will likely result in more evening power cuts by 2027.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Insufficient renewable energy backup-<\/strong> India has an installed electric capacity of 446 GW, with 211 GW coming from coal, 195 GW from renewable energy sources, and the rest from gas and nuclear energy. However, during heatwaves, prolonged high electricity demand can extend into the night. While solar energy can meet daytime spikes in demand, it cannot address night time demand.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Inability of Coal to meet demand-<\/strong> India&#8217;s most reliable power source coal also cannot meet this demand alone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Increase renewable energy storage- <\/strong>The report recommends increasing utility-scale solar plants alongside battery storage. Battery storage can store solar energy produced during the day for use at night.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPSC Syllabus: Indian Economy<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source- This post on the Report on Power Cuts in India has been created based on the article \u201cIn 3 years, power cuts in India will rise, says report\u201d published in \u201cThe Hindu\u201d on 1 August 2024.
