The country’s installed capacity now includes over 230 GW from renewable and non-fossil fuel sources such as solar, wind, hydro, and nuclear power, positioning India among the top global leaders in clean energy.
Net-Zero Emissions by 2070
Policymakers enabled the transition through major initiatives such as the International Solar Alliance, the National Green Hydrogen Mission, and the expansion of solar and wind infrastructure under flagship schemes like PM-KUSUM and the Solar Park Scheme.
Growing domestic manufacturing in clean tech and active private sector participation have supported these efforts.
Experts noted that this early success sends a strong message globally, particularly to developing nations seeking to balance economic growth with environmental responsibility.
India’s journey reflects how determined leadership, innovation, and inclusive policies can drive large-scale transformation.
Looking ahead, the government remains focused on achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.
India’s early fulfilment of the interim goal actively accelerates future sustainability initiatives, including decarbonising transport, urban development, and industry.
India’s achievement is not only a triumph for national policy but also a critical contribution to the global climate movement.
As the world continues to search for practical climate solutions, India is already showing the way.
