India's Renewable Energy Transition

Long-Term Structural Answer

Reducing crude import dependence over the long term requires accelerating the domestic energy transition. India's renewable energy targets and energy transition commitments provide the structural framework for reducing oil import vulnerability over successive decades.

Key details
  • India's National Determined Contribution (NDC) under Paris Agreement: 50% of cumulative installed electricity capacity from non-fossil sources by 2030
  • India's installed renewable energy capacity crossed 200 GW in 2024
  • PM Surya Ghar (Rooftop Solar) and PM Kusum schemes are key residential and agricultural solar programmes
  • Electric Vehicles (EVs): India's EV30@30 target — 30% EV share in new vehicle sales by 2030 — is a key lever for reducing oil demand in transport
  • National Hydrogen Mission targets production of 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030
