India's Renewable Energy Revolution: A Decade of Transformative Changes
Key Ideas
  • India commits to achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030, with a significant focus on solar and wind energy to reduce carbon emissions and transition to sustainable energy sources.
  • Under PM Modi's leadership, India has seen remarkable growth in renewable energy capacity, leading globally in various categories and significantly reducing the cost of solar power production.
  • Initiatives like the SIGHT program for green hydrogen production and the PLI scheme for solar modules aim to boost domestic production, minimize imports, and establish India as a global hub for green hydrogen production and exports.
  • The government's emphasis on renewable energy sources, EV infrastructure, and international events like RE-INVEST 2024 demonstrates India's commitment to green growth, sustainability, and global leadership in the renewable energy sector.
India, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is on a transformative path towards achieving its ambitious renewable energy goals. With a target to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel energy capacity by 2030, India is focusing on solar and wind energy to reduce carbon emissions and drive sustainable development. The country has made significant strides in renewable energy capacity over the past decade, becoming a global leader in renewable energy installation. Initiatives like the SIGHT program for green hydrogen and the PLI scheme for solar modules are boosting domestic production and positioning India as a key player in the green hydrogen revolution. The government's commitment to promoting renewable energy through policies like renewable energy purchase obligations and renewable generation obligations is driving the transition towards green growth. With plans to bid out 50 GW of capacity annually and the involvement of key agencies like SECI, NTPC Ltd, NHPC, and SJVN, India is accelerating its renewable energy journey. While facing challenges like financing for major projects, India's dedication to renewable energy and sustainability is evident through initiatives like the PM Surya Ghar Yojana and events like RE-INVEST 2024. Through international cooperation and a strong focus on renewable energy, India is poised to lead the way in green growth and sustainable development.
