Target year Renewable energy capacity target (GW) Comments 2030: 500 [10] Includes nuclear and large hydro power. Set in 2019 at United Nations Climate Change conference, [10] with 15 times solar and 2 times wind power capacity increase compared to April 2016 installed capacity. 2022: 175 [19] Excludes nuclear and large hydro power.
From the 1960s into the 1980s, the NAL and other groups continued to carry out wind velocity surveys and develop improved estimates of India's wind energy capacity. [20] Large-scale development of wind power began in 1985 with the first wind project in Veraval, Gujarat, in the form of a 40-kW Dutch machine (make Polenko) connected to the grid.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is a ministry of the Government of India, headed by current Union Cabinet Minister Pralhad Joshi, that is mainly responsible for research and development, intellectual property protection, and international cooperation, promotion, and coordination in renewable energy sources such as wind power, small hydro, biogas, Battery Energy Storage and ...
Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency Limited [5] is a Public Limited Government Company and a Non-Banking Financial Institution [6] formed with the objective of promoting, developing and extending financial assistance for setting up projects relating to new and renewable sources of energy and energy efficiency/conservation.

The National Energy Plan is in accord with the Paris Agreement target of 2 °C global warming, but if India stopped building coal-fired power stations it would meet the 1.5 °C aspiration. [55] India pledged to achieve electric power generation of 40% percent non-fossil fuel energy by 2030. [18]
India had set a target of 175 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy (excluding large hydro) capacity by 2022. [48] It included 100 GW capacity from solar energy sources, 60 GW from wind power, 10 GW from biopower, and 5 GW from small hydropower. [49] This target was missed with wide gap and expected to be accomplished by the end of 2025.
In 2018, India's net imports are nearly 205.3 million tons of crude oil and its products, 26.3 Mtoe of LNG and 141.7 Mtoe coal totaling to 373.3 Mtoe of primary energy which is equal to 46.13% of total primary energy consumption. India is largely dependent on fossil fuel imports to meet its energy demands – by 2030, India's dependence on ...
India's government has set a target of achieving 40% cumulative electrical power capacity from non-fossil fuel resources by 2030. It plans to enhance the renewable power installed capacity to 175 GW by the end of 2022 which includes 60 GW from wind power, 100 GW from solar power, 10 GW from biomass power and 5 GW from small hydropower.
