India’s rooftop solar (RTS) sector has immense growth potential though it is underperforming currently with only 8 GW installed capacity as against the 40 GW target set for 2022.
India has the fourth largest installed capacity of wind energy in the world, with the addition of 41 GW as of June 2022.
India recently submitted an updated nationally determined contribution (NDC) to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), which includes two short-term commitments.
Rooftop solar is expected to play a major role in India’s 280 GW solar target for 2030.
Over the past decade, digitalisation has been expedited across all industries.
Wind energy systems are expected to play a crucial role in meeting India’s ambitious goal of 450 GW of renewable energy installed capacity by 2030, which includes 140 GW of wind energy.
As a rapidly developing nation, India is currently the world’s fourth-largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
India is among the top five leading countries in solar power installed capacity.
India generates an enormous amount of waste, including municipal solid waste (MSW), industrial waste, hazardous waste, and biological waste.
India’s solar photovoltaics (PV) market is rapidly growing.
In early September, India's peak daytime electricity demand stood at 241 GW, a record high.
India’s commitment to reach net zero by 2070 and meet 50% of its cumulative installed capacity from non-fossil fuel energy resources is a significant milestone in its fight against climate change.
