India's Sustainable Energy Transformation: A Path Towards Net Zero by 2070
Key Ideas
  • India aims to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based power generation capacity by 2030, with significant growth in renewable energy from 24 GW in 2014 to 136 GW in 2024.
  • The country has reduced emissions intensity by 40% compared to 2005 levels, showing strong progress towards its NDC target of a 45% reduction by 2030.
  • Policies in India focus on creating demand for energy transition, introducing market-based instruments, and supporting new technologies like green hydrogen and offshore power.
  • While coal continues to play a role in the energy mix, India is aggressively expanding renewable sources and aims to triple its nuclear energy capacity by 2031-32.
India is actively driving a cleaner future through its energy transition, targeting 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based power generation capacity by 2030. With renewable energy capacity growing significantly from 24 GW in 2014 to 136 GW in 2024, India is on track to meet its 50% non-fossil fuel target by 2030. The country has reduced emissions intensity by 40% compared to 2005 levels, showcasing progress towards its NDC target. Policies emphasize creating demand for energy transition, introducing market-based instruments, and supporting new technologies like green hydrogen. While coal remains a part of the energy mix, India is expanding renewable sources and aims to triple its nuclear energy capacity by 2031-32. The transport sector is also a focus, with efforts to promote biofuels, electric vehicles, and electrification of Indian Railways. India's decarbonization strategy merges biofuels, electric mobility, and green technologies to achieve a sustainable future.
