India's clean energy mission is driven by goals to install 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, achieve energy independence by 2047, and reach net-zero emissions by 2070. Key initiatives include the National Green Hydrogen Mission, the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan (PM-KUSUM) scheme, and promoting rooftop solar through programs like the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana. The mission also focuses on developing renewable sources like solar, wind, and biomass, attracting investment, and creating a robust framework for their deployment.

The mission also focuses on developing renewable sources like solar, wind, and biomass, attracting investment, and creating a robust framework for their deployment. 
Key goals
500 GW non-fossil electricity capacity by 2030:
 India aims to install 500 gigawatts of electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources by the end of the decade, with solar energy being a primary driver.
Net-zero emissions by 2070:-
 A long-term goal to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2070.
Energy independence by 2047:-
 The mission aims to make India energy-independent by 2047. 

Major initiatives and programs
National Green Hydrogen Mission:-      Aims to make India a global hub for using, producing, and exporting green hydrogen.
PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana:-
 Aims to make households self-reliant in energy through rooftop solar installations.

PM-KUSUM Scheme:-
 Supports the installation of solar pumps and other solar projects for farmers.
Solar and wind parks: -
The development of large solar parks and wind-solar hybrid projects to provide land and transmission infrastructure for renewable energy developers.
National Bioenergy Programme:- 
Aims to promote bioenergy projects, including waste-to-energy, biomass, and biogas plants. 
Supporting frameworks

Regulatory and standards development:-
 Creating a framework of regulations and standards to support the growth of emerging clean energy technologies.
Investment and implementation:- Establishing Project Development Cells to attract and facilitate investment and developing transmission plans to integrate the new renewable capacity.
International cooperation: -
Efforts like the establishment of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) aim to mobilize investment and promote solar energy globally. 
Installed Capacity:-
 India has 226.79 GW of installed renewable energy capacity as of June 2025, a nearly three-fold increase since 2014. When combined with nuclear power, the total non-fossil fuel capacity is 235.7 GW, which is 49% of the total installed power generation capacity.
Global Ranking:-
 India holds the 4th position globally in overall renewable energy installed capacity, the 4th in wind power, and the 3rd in solar power.
Solar Power:-
 Installed solar capacity has grown from 2.82 GW in 2014 to 127.33 GW as of 2025. India is now the world's third-largest solar energy producer, surpassing Japan.
Wind Power:-
 In 2024, India added 3.4 GW of new wind capacity, with Gujarat, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu leading the additions.
Generation: -
Renewable energy generation increased from 190.96 BU in 2014–15 to 370.65 BU in 2024–25 (April–February).

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...
