India Advances Toward 500 GW Clean Energy Goal

India continues to make steady progress towards its target of achieving 500 GW ofnon-fossil energy energy capacity by 2030, according to Dr. Vibha Dhawan, Director General of The Energy and coffers Institute( TERI). Speaking at the  induction of the 18th edition of the Renewable Energy India( REI) Expo, organized by Informa requests in India, Dr. Dhawan  stressed the country’s achievements and ongoing  enterprise in the renewable energy sector.

She noted that India has  formerly installed 127 GW of solar capacity, marking a significant step in its clean energy transition. With government- led  enterprise  similar as the National Green Hydrogen Mission, the product- Linked incitement( PLI) scheme for solar and battery manufacturing, and the National Manufacturing Mission, India is strengthening its domestic renewable value chain. “ At TERI, decades of  exploration, capacity  structure, and  hookups have been directed toward  unleashing India’s estimated  10,800 GW solar  eventuality and advancing Agri- photovoltaic models that drive  pastoral growth, ” Dr. Dhawan said. She emphasized that sustainability must now be viewed as a strategic enabler for artificial competitiveness and inclusive development.

The three- day REI exhibit, held at India Expo Mart, Greater Noida, andco-located with The Battery Show India( TBSI), brings together global manufacturers, investors, policymakers, and  originators under the theme “ Decoding Pathways to Achieve Net Zero. ” The event aims to foster  transnational collaboration,  invention, and investment to advance India’s clean energy ecosystem.

Shri Manu Srivastava, fresh Chief Secretary of the Government of Madhya Pradesh,  underlined India’s growing success in achieving cost-effective renewable energy. He  stressed that India has reached the  corner of delivering round- the-  timepiece solar- plus-  storehouse power at ₹ 2.70 per unit, or around three US cents. “ Having  innovated sub- ₹ 3 per unit tariffs without  subventions and powered nearly 65 of Delhi Metro’s day demand, we're now proving that solar energy is  feasible indeed when stored and supplied duringnon-solar hours, ” he said. The 440 MW solar- plus-  storehouse  design in Morena, Madhya Pradesh, supported by the World Bank, IFC, and ADB, exemplifies how transparent bidding and effective  threat  operation can establish global  marks.

Debashish Das, Head of the Renewable Energy Nodal Agency, Government of Odisha,  stressed the state’s  sweats to transition towards clean energy. Odisha, which contributes about 25 of India’s coal reserves and 40 of its  sword affair, is  enforcing its Renewable Energy Policy aligned with Viksit Odisha 2026 and Viksit Bharat 2047. The state is  fastening on floating solar  systems and pump  storehouse systems across its water budgets to promote sustainable energy generation without affecting agrarian land.

According to Mr. Yogesh Mudras, Managing Director of Informa requests in India, India’s renewable capacity surpassed 250 GW in 2025, and a strong channel is in place to reach 500 GW by 2030. The government’s ₹  5,400 crore Viability Gap Funding scheme for 30 GWh of battery energy  storehouse systems, along with 13.2 GWh  formerly afoot, is anticipated to attract ₹  33,000 crore in investments by 2028. He added that events like REI and TBSI serve as platforms for advancing  invention, policy dialogue, andcross-sectoral collaboration in clean energy.

This time’s REI exhibit features participation from over 700  fair,  1,000 brands, and 250 global  study leaders, attracting  further than  35,000 callers. The event showcases the full diapason of renewable technologies including solar manufacturing, battery  storehouse, EV charging, biomass, and wind energy. coincidently, TBSI, supported by the Department of Science & Technology and the Ministry of Heavy diligence, hosts over 350  fair and 400 brands,  fastening on advanced battery manufacturing and  storehouse technologies.

Leading companies  similar as Reliance New Energy, Adani Solar, INOX Solar, Vikram Solar, Goldi Solar, Havells, and Gautam Solar are showcasing  inventions at the event. Goldi Solar unveiled new high-  effectiveness solar modules, including India’s first in- houseInter-Digitated Back Contact( IBC) conception module delivering up to 665 Wp at 23.08  effectiveness. Vikram Solar introduced its new Hypersol Pro module under the ‘ Make in India’ action, and INOX Solar  blazoned a strategic  cooperation with LONGi to supply 5 GW of high-  effectiveness modules in India over the coming three times.

Dhash PV Technologies launched new interconnect busbars and DC  string lines to strengthen India’s solar manufacturing ecosystem, while Replus unveiled a 5 GW energy  storehouse system. Solis introduced its 125 kW Hybrid Inverter for  marketable and artificial  operations, integrating advanced functionality for smarter energy  operation.

India  lately crossed the 500 GW  position in total installed power capacity, with renewables now contributing  further than 50 of the  blend. The country’snon-fossil-fuel power capacity  presently stands at 256.09 GW, with a robust channel of solar, wind, and  storehouse  systems underway. This marks a  vital phase in India’s clean energy transition — moving from capacity expansion to integration,  storehouse, and value chain localization —  buttressing its position as a global leader in sustainable energy.
