What happened
India reached an installed renewable energy capacity milestone of 300 GW. Alongside this milestone, India is positioning a longer-term goal to reach 400 GW by 2030.
Background and earlier position
Renewable energy deployment in India has grown over time through incremental additions of generation capacity. A policy and planning challenge in the power sector has been scaling renewables while keeping the grid stable and ensuring electricity access.
What changed now
The reported change is the attainment of 300 GW installed renewable energy capacity and the continued framing of the 400 GW by 2030 target.
