In the first half of March, the @Indiametdept recorded: 👉 Delhi crossing the 35°C threshold earlier than it has in the last 15 years 👉 Mumbai and Pune seeing the season’s first heatwave warning 👉 Coastal Andhra Pradesh experiencing heatwave conditions, and hot-humid weather 👉 Vidarbha nearing 40–41°C, parts of Tamil Nadu approaching 40°C unusually early in the season India’s growing #heat crisis isn’t just about hotter summers — it’s about how early heat arrives, where it concentrates, and who is most exposed. Here's what data from our first-of-its-kind district-level heat risk assessment, covering 734 districts and 35 indicators, reveals about changing summers in India👇 📘 Full study: ceew.in/publications/m…

Today , CEEW in partnership with the Carbon Removal India Alliance, launches a new study on building a credible, scalable carbon removal ecosystem rooted in India’s realities.

Two panel discussions grounded this in practice. The first, with Dinesh Jagdale, UB Reddy, and Karthik Ganesan, unpacked the scalability challenge: how responsible deployment can solve grid, land, and capital bottlenecks. The second, with Abhay Bhavsar, Vijayanand V, Anjali Acharya, and Akanksha Tyagi, focused on what it will take to institutionalise robust, on-ground practices across the sector. @KaygeeAtWork @mnreindia @DDjagdale @thekjgeorge @KJGeorgeOffice @Gaurav_Gupta67 @KREDL_GoK @4PEL_Energy @HeroFuture_HFE @Suzlon @spda_solar @rjain88 🧵(3/3)

India’s clean cooking journey began with PMUY’s bold ambition. In a volatile world with an ongoing energy crisis, cooking fuel for Indian households should gradually shift to energy generated on Indian soil. This is not about LPG versus electricity for cooking, but pushing for a clean cooking stack that reflects the ground realities of import reliance. ✍️Abhishek Kar & Surya Shekhar Auddy 🔗newindianexpress.com/opinion/2026/M… @CEEWIndia #LPGCrisis

#Opinion | Time to shift from gas to electric The article highlights how electricity can play a larger role alongside #LPG as India looks to deepen #CleanCooking access. A hybrid approach can offer households more flexibility, sustain health gains, and gradually reduce dependence on imported fuels. With global price volatility and supply risks in the background, @Abhishek_Kar_AK and @surya_auddy make a case for diversifying the cooking energy sources as a practical next step in strengthening #energy security. ✍️ In today’s @NewIndianXpress👇

India hosts 18% of the world’s population but only 4% of its freshwater resources. As we head into what is likely to be another very hot summer, water will once again be top of mind for communities, policymakers, and businesses—not just as a basic need, but as a critical factor shaping India’s resilience and economic growth. 📘 Join us for the launch of the remarkable new book, Water, Nature, Progress: Solutions for a New India by @paramiyer_, @GhoshArunabha, and Richard Damania on 22 March, 6 PM onwards, at @IIC_Delhi.

As the #WestAsiaCrisis exposes India’s energy import dependence, especially on LPG, how can the country risk-proof its future? “The transition has to be towards electric," @CEEWIndia's Karthik Ganesan (@KaygeeAtWork) tells The Core. To reduce import volatility, he advocates a structural shift in three areas: tightening CAFE norms for transport, incentivising industrial electrification, and moving households to induction cooking.
