Thank you for an interesting discussion Hope to take some of these insights through to our panel on #DrivingIndiasGrowth Conclave on Nov 25

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@ChandrikaDeb @ISBedu Regulatory framework needs to be a lot more robust with price leveling left to the market. A more organic function.

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@zoyawahi @ISBedu contractual and regulatory frameworks need to supportive and pricing mechanism need to be addressed. Key interventions.

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@RiyaSircar @ISBedu India needs to be more aggressive in gaining access to energy sources internally and across the world.

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@RiyaSircar @ISBedu Yes, a number of international political tensions are over energy sources and competition exists the world over.

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@ChandrikaDeb @ISBedu (contd.) and linking up producers with buyers ready to pay heavy tariffs is the direction we need to be headed in.

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@ChandrikaDeb @ISBedu Indigenizing and creating large capacities, making financial support available and (contd.)

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@sushmitsarkar will need to study the sector further in order to comment.

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@aksagrwl yes absolutely - distribution does require greater government involvement due to pricing and policies dependencies

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@prithviraj064 @ISBedu Could you elaborate on what you mean by energy self sufficiency Vs energy independence.

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@aksagrwl both add complexity. Without tariff reforms fixing distribution is very hard. And distribution is more monopolistic and political

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@aksagrwl @ISBedu #drivingindiasgrowth both are equally important but distribution is far more complex problem. The pricing and availability

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@RahulDcruz1 @ISBedu Global investors are in wait-and-watch mode monitoring India for solutions around optimum use of organic sources.

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@RahulDcruz1 @ISBedu A great deal of potential remains untapped, we should def. use an organic source bearing in mind technology caveats.

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@sushmitsarkar Smart cities are much more energy intensive shoring up the challenge, exploration would definitely help mitigate risk.

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@sushmitsarkar we have failed to utilise our capacity in oil and gas and even coal where current reserves are sufficient for 100 years.

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@sushmitsarkar with regards to renewables we currently don't have the manufacturing capacity for equipment.

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@aksagrwl @ISBedu Yes, We don't need to worry about demand. Generating is important but transmission and distribution avenues are important

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@sushmitsarkar There is a definite need to scale up. Of note, despite abundant coal reserves, we are still one of the largest importers.

[Pradeep Singh @PradeepSinghISB]

@aksagrwl @ISBedu large numbers in India don't have access to supply and per capita we only consume 15% of the global average.
