Government Support and Policy Initiatives
Government support significantly drives the growth of India's tidal energy sector through policies like the National Renewable Energy Mission and incentives from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). These initiatives promote favorable conditions for tidal projects, encouraging Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and private investments. India's commitment to achieving net-zero goals further accelerates the sector's attractiveness. Collaborations with international agencies provide technological expertise and financial backing, strengthening confidence in the sector. For instance, as per industry reports, India plans to generate 12,455 MW of tidal and 41,300 MW of wave power by 2030, contributing to its renewable energy mix. Currently, the nation’s total power generation capacity stands at 416,059 MW. Additionally, 42 hydro-power projects with a combined capacity of 18,034 MW are under construction, advancing its sustainability goals.
Technological Advancements in Tidal Energy Infrastructure
Technological innovations are reshaping the tidal energy landscape in India. The development of advanced tidal turbines and floating energy platforms has enhanced the efficiency and scalability of tidal power projects. Smart grid integration and the use of real-time data monitoring systems ensure better energy management and grid stability. Furthermore, the emergence of subsea cabling and energy storage solutions facilitates reliable energy transmission from tidal plants to the mainland. Research in hydrodynamic modeling and the application of artificial intelligence (AI) for predictive maintenance are also reducing operational risks and maintenance costs. These innovations are making tidal energy a more viable and competitive option in the renewable energy mix. For instance, in March 2025, WaveGen Energy successfully tested its 200W proof-of-concept (POC) wave energy technology at the National Institute of Technology Karnataka (NITK), achieving an impressive 52% efficiency rate, well above the industry standard of 20%. In addition to generating electricity, the system facilitates seawater desalination and combats coastal erosion. With plans for commercial deployment, WaveGen aims to establish India as a global leader in wave energy within the expanding blue economy.
Focus on Coastal and Island Energy Solutions
India’s vast coastline and numerous islands offer immense potential for tidal energy generation. Coastal regions, particularly in Gujarat and West Bengal, are witnessing increased feasibility studies and pilot projects aimed at harnessing tidal power. The government's efforts to provide sustainable energy to remote coastal villages and island territories are driving the demand for localized tidal energy solutions. Additionally, tidal energy serves as a reliable power source for islands with limited access to conventional electricity grids. Establishing microgrid networks using tidal energy can ensure energy security in these regions. With a growing emphasis on decentralized power generation, tidal energy projects are becoming integral to India’s renewable energy roadmap. For instance, in September 2024, the Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) developed the Integrated Ocean Energy Atlas, estimating India's potential to generate 9.2 lakh TWh of renewable energy annually from its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ). Covering solar, wind, wave, tidal, ocean thermal, and salinity gradients, the atlas provides detailed data via a WebGIS interface. It aids policymakers and industries in identifying coastal and island sites for localized tidal energy projects, promoting sustainable energy solutions in remote areas with limited grid access.
