    Gail plugs into influencer power to push clean energy with fresh CNG, PNG campaign phase

    MUMBAI: India’s clean energy shift just got a viral push. Gail (India) Limited has rolled out the influencer-led phase of its celebrated ‘Waah Kya Energy Hai’ campaign, aimed at boosting awareness and adoption of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Piped Natural Gas (PNG). This leg leans on the power of popular creators to reshape public perception and put natural gas in the social media spotlight.

    The campaign builds on the emotive tone of the original mini-series that spotlighted domestic and commercial gas use through slice-of-life stories. But this phase is all about visibility and virality. Influencers across India are showcasing how CNG powers autos, cars and fleets, while PNG keeps kitchens running in homes and hotels—all without a whiff of compromise.

    From engaging reels and vlogs to unfiltered testimonials, creators are turning energy use into conversation starters. These bite-sized stories spotlight how natural gas, as a fuel, brings together safety, savings, and sustainability—a triple play for climate-conscious India.

    With more than 2,800 CNG stations spread across 72 cities in 20 states and union territories, Gail’s footprint reflects its mission of reliable, green transportation. PNG, meanwhile, continues its surge as a preferred option in urban kitchens and commercial setups needing uninterrupted, clean energy.

    “This campaign is a celebration of the quiet but impactful transition to clean energy happening across the country,” said Gail head – corporate communications Jyoti Kumar. “By collaborating with influencers who connect authentically with their audiences, we are making conversations around sustainability more relatable, actionable, and widespread.”

    Audiences can catch all the buzz on @Gailindia via Instagram, where behind-the-scenes shots, creator shout-outs and interactive polls form the core of the digital showcase.

    Gail has layered this campaign with animated explainers, user-driven content, and sharp infrastructure visuals to hammer home the versatility of gas. As the campaign gains momentum, it doubles down on Gail’s broader promise: to power India’s energy ambitions while staying firmly rooted in environmental responsibility.

    MUMBAI: KP Group has stepped up to the crease, not with a bat, but with big green energy. On 29 March 2025, the renewable energy titan announced its partnership with Delhi Capitals as the official renewable energy partner for the ongoing T20 League season. It’s not just cricket and contracts—it’s climate goals wrapped in a cricket jersey.

Together, we aim to inspire crores of cricket fans and other people around the world to adopt clean energy solutions.”

    With over 1.4 GW of renewable projects energised and another 3.8 GW in progress, KP Group is no small player. From solar and hybrid energy through KPI Green Energy, to wind energy via KP Energy, and engineering expertise from KP Green Engineering—the company has covered its green bases.

    MUMBAI: The sun isn’t just shining-it’s powering the next big leap for Micromax. Once a formidable name in India’s mobile revolution, the homegrown electronics giant is now setting its sights on the solar energy sector. With its latest venture, Startup Energy, Micromax is stepping into the solar panel manufacturing game in partnership with China’s Jinchen, a leading solar equipment manufacturer.

    Micromax has inked a strategic contract with Jinchen to establish a 5GW advanced solar module manufacturing line. The project will roll out in multiple phases, integrating automation, precision engineering, and high-efficiency production technologies.

    The goal? To deliver cost-effective, high-quality solar panels for residential, commercial, and industrial applications at scale.

    Micromax’s latest play aligns perfectly with India’s ambitious renewable energy mission. With the country eyeing 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, and installed solar capacity already surpassing 72 GW as of 2023, the demand for locally manufactured, high-performance solar panels is skyrocketing.

    Micromax Informatics MD Rajesh Agarwal elaborated on the company’s vision, “With Startup Energy, we are extending our expertise into the renewable energy sector, making clean power more accessible, reliable, and cost-effective for individuals and businesses.”

    Startup Energy’s manufacturing facility will leverage advanced automation and precision engineering, ensuring top-tier efficiency and scalability.

From enhancing energy efficiency to increasing long-term sustainability, Micromax is crafting an ecosystem where affordability meets cutting-edge advancements.

    With Startup Energy gearing up to power homes, industries, and the nation, Micromax is proving once again that it knows how to disrupt an industry—this time, under the Indian sun.
