This marks a transformation from an importer of fossil fuels to a global leader in clean energy. India’s commitments at COP26 and the nation’s rapid growth in renewable energy showcase its dedication to sustainability and decarbonization. With achievements in solar, wind, hydro, bioenergy, and nuclear power sectors, India is on track to exceed its non-fossil capacity goal of 500 GW by 2030, demonstrating a pioneering model for clean energy transition. The country’s efforts reflect a holistic approach towards growth, decarbonization, and self-sufficiency in a green energy-powered Atmanirbhar Bharat.
