India has made remarkable strides in sustainable development, evident from its addition of 29.52 GW of renewable energy capacity in 2024-25, bringing the total to 220.10 GW. This growth is pivotal in achieving the 2030 target of 500 GW from non-fossil sources. Palli village in Jammu and Kashmir has set a groundbreaking example by becoming India's first carbon-neutral panchayat, showcasing a dedication to reducing carbon emissions. The surge in solar power capacity, which has grown over 25 times to 71.78 GW since 2014, has been a key driver in India's renewable energy push. Additionally, the country has seen significant growth in wind and nuclear capacities. With solar tariffs now competitive globally, India ranks 7th in the Renewable Energy Country Attractiveness Index, reflecting its commitment to sustainable energy practices. India's environmental commitments under the Paris Agreement and its 'Panchamrit' climate pledge are further supported by initiatives like LiFE (Lifestyle for Environment) and the National Green Hydrogen Mission, cementing its position as a leader in sustainability efforts. The nation's focus on green growth extends to various sectors, including conservation, where India has increased its forest cover to 7.15 lakh sq. km and boasts over 75% of the world's wild tiger population. The successful reintroduction of cheetahs under Project Cheetah highlights India's conservation efforts. Furthermore, India's sanitation and waste management initiatives, like the Swachh Bharat Mission and GOBARdhan schemes, have elevated hygiene standards in urban and rural areas. The country's commitment to green growth is evident in projects such as solar villages, ropeways in pilgrimage sites like Kedarnath and Hemkund Sahib, and the Namami Gange Mission's efforts in cleaning and conserving the Ganga river.
