India’s Corn Exports May Rise to 2.4 Million Tonnes in 25-26 as Weak Prices Boost Overseas Demand

The rise in exports has been driven mainly by competitive Indian corn prices. Relatively weak domestic prices have made Indian corn attractive for buyers in nearby markets such as Bangladesh, Vietnam, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Bhutan. Lower freight costs, shorter shipping distances and the ability to move smaller cargoes have added to India’s advantage in these destinations.

India’s Energy Storage Surge Marks a New Phase in the Clean Power Transition

Battery energy storage systems, or BESS, solve one of the biggest challenges in renewable energy. Solar power is strongest during the day, wind power varies with weather, and electricity demand often peaks in the evening. Storage bridges this gap by saving surplus power when generation is high and releasing it when the grid needs support. For a country adding renewable capacity at record pace, storage is becoming essential for reliability, flexibility and round-the-clock clean electricity.
