India eyes 50% renewable power before 2030

Out of the total target capacity of 500 gigawatts from non-fossil sources, the country envisions 485 gigawatts coming from renewable energy. Speaking at the Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit, Bhalla highlighted the significant increase in India’s share of renewable energy in its total energy capacity, which currently stands at over 42%.

Bhalla emphasized India’s commitment to achieving the 50% renewable energy capacity target by 2030 and expressed optimism about accomplishing this goal earlier than the specified timeline. He noted the substantial growth in India’s renewable energy capacity from around 76 gigawatts in 2014 to the current level of 180 gigawatts. The overall target is to reach 500 gigawatts of non-fossil capacity by 2030, with the majority, approximately 485 gigawatts, dedicated to renewable energy.
