India has reached a significant milestone in its energy transition journey as non-fossil fuel sources now contribute to half of the country's power generation capacity. This achievement comes five years ahead of the target set in India's NDCs under the Paris Agreement. Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership has been pivotal in driving India's green transformation, with an increased focus on clean energy targets. The government's renewable energy policy has evolved to emphasize non-fossil fuel sources, including large hydel projects, as part of a broader strategy for energy security, climate action, and sustainable economic growth. India's total installed generation capacity has now reached 484.8 GW, with renewable energy and nuclear capacity accounting for over 50% of the total. This shift towards cleaner energy sources signals India's commitment to a sustainable future and aligns with its ambitious target of reaching 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, as announced at COP 26 in Glasgow.
