Detailed explanation-1: -The share of renewable energy will increase from 9.2 per cent to 32 per cent. This will require the installed capacity of renewable energy to be scaled up from 82.5 GW in 2019 to 455 GW in 2030.
Detailed explanation-2: -Increasing renewables capacity to 500 GW by 2030, Meeting 50% of energy requirements from renewables, Reducing cumulative emissions by one billion tonnes by 2030, and. Reducing emissions intensity of India’s gross domestic product (GDP) by 45% by 2030.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Plan is a major step towards achievement of the goal of integrating 500 GW of non-fossil fuel based capacity by 2030 by providing broad plan of required transmission system for having 537 GW of Renewable Energy capacity by the year 2030.
Detailed explanation-4: -In order to keep its global commitments to source half its energy from non-fossil fuel sources by 2030, India must instal 500 GW of capacity at a cost of ₹2.44 lakh crore, according to a new plan report.
Detailed explanation-5: -India’s installed renewable energy capacity has increased 396% in the last 8.5 years and stands at more than 174.53 Giga Watts (including large Hydro), which is about 42.5% of the country’s total capacity (as of February 2023). India saw the highest year on year growth in renewable energy additions of 9.83% in 2022.
