Nxtra by Airtel partners with AMPIN Energy Transition
Nxtra by Airtel and AMPIN Energy Transition have strengthened their partnership with a new, power-wheeling agreement involving 125.65 MW of solar-wind hybrid energy through Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) connected plants. With this, the total renewable energy partnership between the two companies has crossed over 200 MW. This will maximise Nxtra's infrastructural efficiency, drive deeper decarbonisation and advance operational excellencereinforcing Nxtra's position as India's leader in sustainable data centre solutions.
The additional capacity will be delivered to Nxtra in two phases, each through captive solar-wind power projects in Rajasthan and Karnataka, respectively. AMPIN has been supplying solar power to Nxtra through intra-state, open access in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Odisha. With this new agreement, AMPIN will add 11 new states as well as new technologies such as large-scale ISTS renewable energy supply and the seamless supply of renewable energy from a single Independent Power Producer (IPP).

End of inter-state transmission fee waiver for solar, wind projects to hit 26 GW renewable projects: Crisil
Around 26 gigawatt of renewable energy projects are expected to get impacted with the end of waiver on the inter-state transmission system (ISTS) charges provided for solar and wind projects, according to Crisil Ratings . The deadline for announcing an extension on waiver on Inter-State Transmission System (ISTS) charges for setting up and commissioning solar and wind projects ended on June 30, 2025.

However, as part of a scheduled phase-down, only projects commissioned by June 30, 2025, would continue to enjoy the full exemption for 25 years. Projects that are covered under the waiver policy but missed this deadline would be eligible for partial concessions - 75 per cent waiver for those completed by June 2026, 50 per cent for those completed by June 2027, and 25 per cent for those completed by June 2028 after which the waiver will be fully discontinued. The report further said that "although ISTS charges are typically borne by the offtaker, developers for these capacities may be liable if delays are deemed solely attributable to them". The reduction in waiver is expected to moderate long-term project cash flow, potentially affecting debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) and project returns. For instance, if a developer bears 25 per cent of an assumed Rs 0.65/kWh (kilowatt hour) transmission charge due to the waiver sunset, we may see DSCR decline from 1.4 times to 1.3 times, it said.

EAM Jaishankar meets Germany MP, discusses growing bilateral ties
Germany and India share a strong strategic partnership, which has grown steadily over the decades since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1951 ANI Asia External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday met German Member of Parliament Jurgen Hardt in New Delhi and discussed growing bilateral ties and recent global developments. In a post on X, Jaishankar wrote, "Always nice to catch up with German MP @juergenhardt. Discussed our bilateral cooperation and global developments." According to MEA, Germany is one of India's most valued partners in Europe. The two countries share a strong strategic partnership, which has grown steadily over the decades since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1951. In March 2021, both sides marked 70 years of diplomatic ties. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have held regular meetings, both bilaterally and on the sidelines of key global summits. In fact, they have met six times in the last two years. Their latest meeting took place during the G7 Summit in Apulia, Italy in June 2024, where they reviewed ongoing cooperation. Prior to that, the two leaders met at the G20 Summit in New Delhi in September 2023 and also during the G7 Summit in Hiroshima in May 2023. Chancellor Scholz had also paid a standalone State visit to India in February 2023, a first by a German Chancellor since the launch of the Inter-Governmental Consultations (IGC) format. India and Germany held their 6th IGC in Berlin in May 2022, co-chaired by PM Modi and Chancellor Scholz. Several agreements were signed in the fields of clean energy, health, agroecology, skill development, mobility, and more. A major outcome was the Joint Declaration of Intent on the Green and Sustainable Development Partnership (GSDP), as per MEA. Separately, EAM Jaishankar also met Slovenia's Ambassador to India, Mateja Vodeb Ghosh, for a farewell call. In a message on X, he said, "Pleased to receive Ambassador Mateja Vodeb Ghosh of Slovenia this evening for a farewell call. Appreciate her contributions towards building stronger ties. Wish her the best for future endeavors.
