India is making significant strides toward a greener future by focusing on renewable energy. The government has committed to achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2070 and aims to source 50% of its energy from renewables by 2030. Solar power is a central element of India’s energy transition, with the country already being one of the largest solar energy producers in the world.
India’s National Action Plan on Climate Change and various state-level initiatives focus on promoting clean energy, energy efficiency, and reducing dependency on coal. The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and investment in EV infrastructure has also garnered attention as part of the overall plan to reduce vehicular emissions.
What to watch out for:
Government policies supporting renewable energy adoption, such as subsidies and incentives.
Growing involvement of the private sector in energy production and innovation.
The potential role of India as a global leader in addressing climate change.
