India's energy transition has gained significant traction in the run-up to the 2024 general elections, with both major political parties, the BJP and Congress, highlighting clean energy initiatives in their manifestos. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana' and continued subsidies for gas cylinders aim to make clean energy more accessible to households. Despite the substantial cost implications and the need for trillions of dollars for a complete energy transition by 2070, the government remains committed to promoting renewable energy. The BJP manifesto focuses on energy security, outlining plans to reduce fossil fuel imports, expand renewable energy sources, promote green hydrogen, electric mobility, and establish India as a manufacturing hub for renewable energy. In contrast, the Congress manifesto emphasizes mobilizing capital for energy transition, focusing on solar pumps, solar grids in villages, and a green transition fund. Experts view these initiatives as crucial signals to voters about the government's commitment to affordable clean energy. While energy transition may not dominate the political discourse, vital components like renewable energy and electric transport remain integral to electoral campaigns. Both parties pledge to continue pushing for clean energy if re-elected, with targets set to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. Despite past policy fluctuations, India's energy transition trajectory seems promising, underscoring the importance of sustainable energy practices in the country's development.
