New Delhi, Apr 9 (BNP): India has secured its position as the world’s third-largest country in renewable energy capacity, marking a major milestone in its journey toward sustainable power, said R.K. Singh.
The government has set an ambitious target of achieving 500 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy by 2030, driven by solar, wind, and emerging green technologies. This move reflects India’s commitment to cleaner energy, reducing carbon emissions, and meeting the country’s growing electricity demand sustainably.
Minister R.K. Singh emphasized that renewable energy is not only an environmental necessity but also a key catalyst for economic growth and employment. The expansion of clean energy infrastructure is creating opportunities for local communities, fostering innovation, and strengthening India’s energy security.
India’s rapid progress in renewables is supported by strong policies, investment incentives, and public-private partnerships. Large-scale solar parks, wind farms, and hybrid energy projects are already under development, helping the country move steadily toward its 2030 goal.
Achieving 500 GW by 2030 would cement India’s leadership in the global green energy transition, providing both environmental benefits and sustainable economic growth for millions of citizens across the nation.
