- India has achieved 50% of its installed power capacity from non-fossil fuel sources.
- It was five years ahead of the target set in the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs).
- As of June 30, India’s total installed electricity capacity was 484.82 GW.
- It comprises 242.04 GW (49.9%) from thermal energy sources and 242.78 GW (50.1%) from non-fossil sources.
- It included renewables, large hydro, and nuclear power.
- At the COP26 climate conference in 2021, held in Glasgow, Scotland, the United Kingdom, India announced its goal of achieving 50% of its cumulative electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel resources by 2030, under its NDC targets.
- Other goals also include installing 500 gigawatts (GW) of non-fossil electricity capacity, reducing projected carbon emissions by one billion tonnes, and reducing the emissions intensity of its GDP by 45%, also by 2030.
- Despite having one of the lowest per capita emissions globally, India remains among the few G20 countries that are on track to meet—or even exceed—their NDC commitments.
- India is supposed to submit its new and more ambitious NDC in 2025.
