IEEFA Energy Analyst Focuses on India's Industrial Decarbonisation and Power Transition

Tanya Rana works as an Energy Analyst at the Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis, concentrating on India's energy transition with emphasis on industrial decarbonisation, corporate climate transition and developments in the power sector. Her professional background spans audit, ESG advisory and education across India, France and the Gulf.

Before joining IEEFA, Rana spent two years at Ernst and Young Global Delivery Services in its Assurance vertical, working with overseas clients primarily based in France. She subsequently served as English Language Faculty in French public high schools under a placement by the French Ministry of Education from 2020. Prior to EY, she completed an internship at AuctusESG, where she developed expertise in ESG, Sustainable Finance and Climate Risk, engaging with major sector reports and evolving governance frameworks. She holds a Master's degree in Public Policy from the National Law School of India University, Bengaluru, and a Bachelor's degree in Commerce from the University of Delhi.

Rana's analytical focus at IEEFA sits at the intersection of corporate strategy and climate policy in India — a particularly important space as Indian companies begin incorporating climate transition commitments into their public disclosures and investor communications. Industrial decarbonisation is one of the most complex challenges facing India's net-zero trajectory given the scale of steel, cement and chemical manufacturing, all sectors where transition pathways are still being defined. Her work contributes to IEEFA's growing body of India-specific energy transition research.

Her background in public policy and audit — combined with experience in ESG advisory — positions her to assess both the regulatory and financial dimensions of India's energy transition. As SEBI's BRSR mandates expand to cover 1,000 listed companies from FY2024 and India's industrial sector faces growing investor pressure on climate disclosure, analysts with Rana's cross-disciplinary profile will be increasingly central to the evidence base guiding Indian climate finance policy.
