Improving efficiency of fertilizer use in India

The ongoing war in West Asia and the rising costs of fuel and fertilizers give India an opportunity to enhance fertilizer use efficiency and moderate demand. India produces 80% of its urea requirement domestically and imports the rest while also boosting domestic production capacities to become fully self-reliant. But India’s urea industry relies too heavily…

Can India’s waste solve its energy crisis? Diving into bioenergy technologies

Global energy supply chains continue to face uncertainty and fuel prices remain vulnerable to international disruptions. The importance of strengthening domestic energy security has become more urgent for countries like India. Interestingly, while the country continues to search for scalable and sustainable energy alternatives, one of its largest untapped resources already exists within its own…

Revisiting India’s entry onto the nuclear stage

Nuclear reactions are processes that alter the identity of an atomic nucleus. Atoms in itself are incredibly small, and the atomic nucleus occupies less than one ten-trillionth of an atom’s volume, despite containing almost all of its mass. While chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of electrons, nuclear reactions alter protons or neutrons. Be it fission…
