About This Book
India's renewable energy sector is undergoing a transformative revolution, positioning the nation
as a key player in global efforts to combat climate change. With abundant natural resources like
sunlight and wind, India has emerged as one of the world's fastest-growing renewable energy
markets. The government's commitment to a green energy future is reflected in its ambitious
targets, including the goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based energy by 2030. This
includes substantial investments in solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, with solar energy playing
a pivotal role. The National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPCC) and the Atal Mission for
Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) further support India's renewable energy
ambitions, focusing on sustainable urban development and energy efficiency. Policies like the
National Wind-Solar Hybrid Policy encourage the integration of renewable sources to enhance grid
stability. In addition, India's efforts to increase the share of electric vehicles (EVs) in the transport
sector and expand energy storage technologies are critical components of the green energy
transition. As the country continues to scale its renewable energy capacity, it not only contributes to
global climate goals but also promotes energy independence, job creation, and sustainable
economic growth, ensuring a cleaner, greener future for generations to come. "Green Energy, Clean
Future: India's Renewable Revolution" explores India's journey toward sustainable energy,
highlighting its renewable energy advancements, policies, and role in combating climate change.
