The securing of a sustainable energy supply is a central prerequisite for stable economic and social development. Renewable energies play a crucial role in this, as they can contribute to climate and environmental protection alongside economic and social development. Over the past two decades, India has gained a reputation as an emerging global power, currently in a position to make important decisions for a sustainable energy system. Moreover, due to its geographical location, the country has favorable natural conditions for renewable energies. German companies, on the other hand, have risen to become global leaders in renewable energy technology during the same period. At first glance, the combination of the Indian market potential and the expertise seems promising.
