India Achieves Milestone in Green Energy Transformation

In a significant achievement, India has reached its target of generating 50% of its power from non-fossil fuel sources, five years ahead of its 2030 deadline. This landmark was confirmed by Union New and Renewable Energy Minister Pralhad Joshi, who announced that 242.8 gigawatts out of a total installed capacity of 484.8 gigawatts now come from non-fossil fuels.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi hailed this achievement as a testament to India's unwavering commitment to a green and sustainable future. Modi highlighted on social media platform X that this progress marks India's earnest efforts toward ecological sustainability.

The early realization of this target holds significant importance, showcasing India's dedication to international commitments for increasing its non-fossil fuel-based power generation capacity and supporting global sustainability goals.
