Looking at the rapid pace of solar energy installations across India, one wonders what it would take for a city to be at the heart of it all. Is there such a city in India coveted by solar firms as well as original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)? Yes, and one has to look no further than the capital city of the leading solar state Karnataka for the answer. India’s Silicon Valley, Bangalore, is also quickly transforming into a hub for all sorts of renewable energy companies which are driving India’s clean energy push. Over the past year, an increasing number of foreign firms have opened their offices in Bangalore and suburbs, adding to an existing renewable energy ecosystem which includes many established as well as upcoming indigenous firms.
