A study shows that the renewable energy investments in India jumped to $10.9 billion in 2015 from the annual average of $8 billion in the last three years, driven by the solar energy sector. India joins countries like China, Africa, US and latin America, which also saw an increase in clean energy investments.

The Government’s ambitious push to install 100 GW of solar power capacity by 2022 has boosted this. This initiative has led to an increase in job opportunities. More and more people are opting for unconventional courses including the energy management and building a career in this sector.

This sector plays a vital role in the growth and development of the country. The accessibility of various sources of energy and the correct utilisation of energy for the advancement of any nation, serves as the key component towards the financial development of the country. Therefore, top Indian B-schools are encouraging the energy management courses and offering courses to enhance skills of executives working in this sector.
