India's Renewable Energy Targets and NDC Commitments
India's renewable energy expansion is driven by its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement. India's updated NDC (August 2022) commits to achieving 50% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030 and reducing emissions intensity of GDP by 45% by 2030 (from 2005 levels). The 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity target by 2030 is the operational benchmark. India achieved a landmark milestone in June 2025 when non-fossil fuel sources crossed 50% of total installed capacity — more than five years ahead of the NDC target.
- India's updated NDC (August 2022): 50% non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030; 45% emissions intensity reduction by 2030 (from 2005 base)
- 500 GW non-fossil fuel target by 2030 (from 175 GW by 2022 — the earlier target)
- Non-fossil fuel capacity as of June 2025: 242.8 GW (50.07% of total 484.82 GW) — target met 5 years early
- Net-Zero by 2070: Announced by PM Modi at COP26 (Glasgow, November 2021)
- India is the 3rd largest energy consumer and 3rd largest RE market globally
- International Solar Alliance (ISA): Co-founded by India and France in 2015 at COP21; HQ in Gurugram
