India Hits 50% Non-Fossil Power Capacity 5 Years Early

• India hits 50% non-fossil fuel power capacity ahead of 2030 target.
• Supports goal of 500 GW renewable energy by 2030.
• Minister Pralhad Joshi credits PM Modi’s leadership for driving Bharat’s green transformation.

India has achieved a monumental milestone in its goal of being a clean energy country. Currently, India has 50% (242.8 GW out of 484.8 GW) of its installed capacity in non-fossil fuel energy sources—five years ahead of its 2030 goal, Union Minister for New & Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi told attendees recently.

India's 50% non-fossil fuel capacity reflects India's integration into climate action and clean energy as it had promised in numerous global assemblies.

India determined its goal of 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, and the success of meeting its 50% clean energy already demonstrates an encouraging sign to achieving the 500 GW goal.

India achieves 50 per cent on non-fossil fuel capacity -- 5 years ahead of its 2030 target", the minister stated on his X.

Joshi said this also contributes to a self-reliant and sustainable low-carbon future and as a result: cementing India's goal as a world leader in renewable energy sources and climate accountability.
