India Achieves Major Growth in Renewable Energy Capacity

Union Minister Pralhad Joshi recently shared how India is doing well with clean energy. Over the last 12 years, the country stopped just talking and started getting results. Non-fossil fuel capacity grew from 81 GW in 2014 to 288 GW now.

Government is now looking at floating solar projects. A new report says there is potential for over 102 GWp capacity. A new scheme for this is being planned. Also, an online portal for Small Hydro Power Development Scheme has been launched to make the sector clearer.

Renewable Energy Projects

Main schemes like PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana and PM-KUSUM are very important for this change. These efforts helped India produce more power than it needs. It is now a global hub for making renewable energy equipment.
