India has made significant strides in clean energy, adding 23 GW of renewable capacity in the last five months, according to Union Minister Pralhad Joshi. This progress is part of India's broader aim to reach 500 GW of renewable capacity by 2030, a target few countries can match.
In a substantial development, India's installed non-fossil capacity has reached 252 GW, achieving half of its target five years ahead of schedule. As the sole G20 nation to meet its 2030 Paris Agreement goals by 2021, India has demonstrated remarkable leadership in renewable energy expansion.
The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana is a key initiative behind this achievement, providing solar power to over 2 million homes and aiding in the nation's solar expansion. With solar module manufacturing doubling and PV cell manufacturing tripling, India's proactive measures underscore its commitment to a sustainable future.
