India’s energy sector is undergoing a historic transition—from conventional fossil-based generation towards a clean, sustainable, and renewable energy mix. The Government of India has committed to achieving 500 GW* of renewable energy capacity by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2070, making renewable energy a cornerstone of policy and investment.
This rapid expansion has created a complex regulatory and contractual landscape, with multiple stakeholders across generation, transmission, distribution, and financing. Our Energy & Renewables Practice supports clients in navigating this framework with strategic, forward-looking legal solutions.
We advise clients across the energy sector—including solar, wind, hydropower, EPC, investors, licensees, utilities, and REC traders—delivering end-to-end support in regulatory, transactional, corporate, and disputes matters. By integrating expertise in regulatory law, finance, environmental policy, and commercial contracts, we provide seamless, sector-specific solutions tailored to every stage of energy projects.
