As part of National Climate Change Policy, Indian government is planning to raise the installed capacity of renewable energy by the year 2030 to :
500 GW
India’s climate policy has set successively higher targets for clean power. The first major milestone was 175 GW of renewable capacity by 2022 (100 GW solar, 60 GW wind, 10 GW biomass and 5 GW small hydro), announced in 2015 alongside India’s Paris commitments.
For 2030 the ambition was raised sharply. At COP26 in Glasgow in 2021, India announced the Panchamrit commitments, the first of which is to reach 500 GW of non-fossil (largely renewable) electricity capacity by 2030; the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy describes this as the 500 GW renewable energy target. As of 2024 this remained the official 2030 goal, together with meeting half of India’s energy requirement from renewable sources by 2030.
175 GW was the target for 2022, not 2030. 200 GW and 250 GW fall well short of the 2030 goal: India’s installed renewable capacity, including large hydro, had already crossed about 180 GW by early 2024, so such figures would not represent a meaningful raise for 2030 and do not match any announced target.
500 GW option is correct.
