The Government of India said recently it has achieved 50 per cent of its installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources—5 years ahead of its 2030 target under the Paris Agreement, signalling accelerating momentum in the country’s clean energy transition. The announcement comes as India’s renewable power output rose at its fastest pace since 2022 in the first half of 2025, while coal-fired generation declined nearly 3 per cent. Fossil fuels still accounted for over two-thirds of the increase in power generation last year. India plans to expand coal-fired capacity by 80 GW by 2032 to meet rising demand. The government is also pushing for battery storage, circularity in solar and wind components, and green hydrogen to deepen decarbonization. Source: https://www.deccanherald.com/
