  • India has witnessed significant growth in solar energy capacity since 2014, with a focus on achieving 100 GW by 2022, including 40 GW from rooftop solar systems.
  • The government's solar rooftop initiatives aim to empower households and industries to generate clean energy, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision for decentralizing energy production.
  • The Minister also highlights the potential of green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, showcasing the country's commitment to renewable energy goals and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.
At the Indian Energy Transition Summit 2024, Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas, Hardeep Singh Puri, emphasized the pivotal role of solar rooftops in driving India's green journey. The government's ambitious renewable energy push, particularly in solar energy expansion, has transformed the vision of a greener India into a tangible reality. Solar rooftops have been identified as a cornerstone of the country's sustainable energy strategy, with initiatives aimed at empowering households and industries to generate their own clean energy. Subsidies are provided to make solar panel installations more affordable, and excess electricity can be fed into the grid, offering additional benefits. Minister Puri highlighted the close alignment of the solar rooftop scheme with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's vision, focusing on decentralizing energy production and reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The Minister also expressed optimism about the potential of green hydrogen as the fuel of the future. India's solar achievements extend beyond rooftops, positioning the country as one of the world's top renewable energy producers. The government remains committed to advancing its renewable agenda, with a strong emphasis on solar energy and other initiatives like biofuel blending. As India moves towards its 175 GW renewable energy target, solar rooftops are set to play a crucial role in enabling citizens to actively participate in the nation's green growth.
