India's Green Energy Push and Hydrogen Mission
Key Ideas
  • India is on track to achieve 50% renewable energy share in its total installed power generation capacity by the end of the year, with renewables contributing 48% currently.
  • The cost of energy storage has significantly decreased in India, making clean energy more reliable and affordable.
  • The nation is pushing for energy independence by shifting towards green hydrogen, with plans to produce 10 million metric tons of green hydrogen and establish an electrolyzer capacity of 60 to 100 GW.
  • The government is working towards increasing battery energy storage system capacity, with a target of 3,300 MW in the pipeline and aims to reach 74 GW by 2031-32.
Union power minister Manohar Lal Khattar of India announced at the 11th edition of India Energy Storage Week (IESW) 2025 that the country is on track to achieve 50% renewable energy share in its total installed power generation capacity by the end of the year. With renewables currently contributing 48% to the installed capacity, India aims to fulfill its commitment to have 50% of cumulative electric power capacity from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030. The cost of energy storage has seen a significant decrease, making clean energy more reliable and affordable. Industries like steel and cement are shifting towards green hydrogen, with a mission supported by substantial funding to produce green hydrogen and establish a significant electrolyzer capacity. The Indian government is actively working towards increasing the battery energy storage system capacity, with plans for significant growth in the coming years. There is a focus on hydro pumped storage projects, with targets set to increase hydro PSP capacity and reach 50 GW in the next few years. Industry leaders and key energy sector figures are collaborating to drive this green energy transformation in India.
