India's Renewable Energy Sector: Hopeful Outlook for Green Hydrogen and Sustainable Solutions
Key Ideas
  • Renewable energy sector in India seeks higher allocations and incentives in the upcoming Union Budget to boost green energy projects and the supply chain.
  • Government's target of achieving 50 percent non-fossil fuel power capacity by 2030 requires adding 50 GW per year for the next five years.
  • Initiatives like the National Green Hydrogen Mission and PM Solar scheme aim to increase green energy consumption and reduce emissions, with significant investments and funding allocations.
  • Industry anticipates strategic initiatives, policy reforms, and increased funding towards renewable energy projects and innovative technologies in the upcoming budget.
The renewable energy sector in India is looking forward to the upcoming Union Budget with hopes of increased focus on green energy, including initiatives for green hydrogen, solar, wind energy, and battery energy storage systems (BESS). With the goal of achieving 50% cumulative power generation from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030, there is a need to add 50 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity annually for the next five years. The industry is optimistic about continued support from the government, expecting higher allocations and incentives to drive growth and sustainability. Key stakeholders emphasize the importance of sustainable financing, policy reforms to reduce regulatory hurdles, and encouraging private investments in renewable energy projects. The government's initiatives like the National Green Hydrogen Mission and PM Solar scheme have already shown promise in boosting green energy consumption and reducing emissions. The recent increase in budgetary allocation for these initiatives signals a positive outlook for the sector. Furthermore, the introduction of viability gap funding for offshore wind energy projects highlights the government's commitment to promoting sustainable solutions. Overall, there is a strong sense of hope and optimism within the industry for the future of renewable energy in India.
