India concluded 2024 on a high note in the renewable energy sector, achieving a noteworthy milestone of 214 GW of installed green energy capacity, as reported by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. This achievement propels India towards its ambitious goal of achieving 500 GW energy capacity from non-fossil fuels by 2030. The country exhibited remarkable progress by adding almost 15 GW of renewable energy capacity between April and November 2024, nearly doubling the capacity added in the previous year. The Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, praised this accomplishment, positioning India as a global exemplar of sustainable development. Noteworthy initiatives like the 'PM Surya Ghar' and 'PM KUSUM' schemes have significantly contributed to the proliferation of solar energy installations, emphasized by the 70,000 monthly installations under the former. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, backed by substantial funding, highlights India's commitment to becoming a leading producer and exporter of green hydrogen. With the nation's focus on renewable energy and sustainable development, India's green energy journey continues to be a beacon of progress and innovation in the global energy transition.
