India’s commitment to renewable energy was underscored at COP26 in 2021, with goals including 500 GW of non-fossil electricity capacity, 50% renewable energy usage, and a 1 billion tonne reduction in emissions by 2030. India aims for net-zero emissions by 2070 and is making strides in solar and wind energy. This focus on green energy is part of India’s broader strategy to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and lead in global clean energy efforts.
