| Title: | The International Solar Alliance and South Asia |
| Author/s: | Puspa Sharma, Paarth Endlaw |
| Abstract: | The International Solar Alliance (ISA), founded by India in partnership with France, has an important objective: massive deployment of solar energy by mobilising US$1 trillion (S$1.3 trillion) of investments by 2030 and reducing the cost of finance and technology through the joint efforts of its members. The ISA has made some progress since its inception, particularly in Africa but less so in South Asia. It has, however, a long way to go in meeting its objectives. It needs to overcome several challenges, including geopolitical ones, some of which are specific to South Asia. |

However, the Ukraine war and the unfolding shift in the geopolitics of Europe and Asia have created a slender opening that German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi have seized. A consolidated German partnership could constitute a solid anchor to India’s deepening strategic ambitions in Europe. |
