Advantage India
Robust
Demand
*Ministry of New and Renewable Energy targets 500 GW non-fossil-based electricity generation by 2030, as per the Prime Minister's COP26 announcement, with an added installation of 13.5 GW renewable energy capacity in 2023, corresponding to an investment of around Rs. 74,000 crores (US$ 8.90 billion).
*India’s Rs. 9,22,866 crore (US$ 109.50 billion) plan aims to expand power infrastructure, meet 458 GW demand by 2032, enhance transmission, integrate renewable energy, and boost energy security, unlocking vast untapped potential.
*India’s renewable energy sector witnessed a remarkable 420% YoY surge in capacity addition in June 2025, growing from 1.4 gigawatt (GW) in June 2024 to 7.3 GW this year.
Increasing
Investments
*Indian conglomerates plan to invest Rs. 67,42,400 crore (US$ 800 billion) in green hydrogen, clean energy, semiconductors, and EVs by 2034.
*According to Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, Mr. Pralhad Joshi, India attracted Rs. 42,000 crore (US$ 4.88 billion) in clean energy Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in 2023 alone, contributing to a cumulative FDI inflow of over Rs. 1,60,000 crore (US$ 18.60 billion) since 2020.
