[stupid @firozstupid]

energy, intelligence, and raw materials are the pillars of an abundant future.

[stupid @firozstupid]

30% of India's installed capacity is now solar, and it shows no sign of slowing down. The age of storage batteries is here

[Energy Project @energyprojectin]

India's installed power capacity: 548.9 GW as of June 2026. 54.2% non-fossil

Solar: 162.2 GW (+45.9 GW YoY, +39.5%)
Coal: 224.2 GW (+9.5 GW YoY, +4.4%)
Wind: 57.4 GW (+5.8 GW YoY, +11.2%)

[stupid @firozstupid]

@ferrarirules86 What happened to MotorInc?

i thought Shumi and Kartikeya were the founders
