Exclusive: Clean energy investment hits new highs and shows no sign of slowing | TechCrunch

A new International Energy Agency report reveals that global investment in clean energy is nearly double that of fossil fuels, reaching $2.15 trillion in 2025. Despite steady fossil fuel investments, clean energy investment shows a significant upward trend, suggesting no slowdown in the energy transition. Achieving net zero by 2050 would require an average annual investment of $4.5 trillion. However, ongoing exponential growth in clean energy investments indicates this target may be attainable.

Nifty 50 hits record highs but is the market overvalued?

India's stock market, specifically the Nifty 50, reached new all-time highs at 25,000 levels in August 2024, but volatility has since increased. The Indian market has performed well globally, with a significant increase in retail investors and monthly Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs). When it comes to market valuations, the Price to Earnings (PE) ratio is a useful indicator. Currently, the Nifty 50 is at higher price levels, but not yet considered overvalued from a PE ratio perspective. However, sector-wise, Auto, Bank, and Financial Services sectors are trading below their 5-year averages, while Commodities, Energy, FMCG, and Pharma are trading above their averages.

This policy shift might undermine the U.S.'s position in the global AI race, as data centers demand significant power increases by 2030. The tech industry advocates for maintaining renewable energy expansion to prevent setbacks.
