India achieved a major milestone in the field of renewable energy by building a capacity of more than 100 gigawatts.
A government statement released on Thursday said, “Today India stands at 4th position in the world in terms of installed RE capacity, 5th in solar, and 4th in the wind in terms of installed capacity.”
The green energy capacity of India matters in the current global circumstances due to pressure from global environment regulators to cut carbon emissions to save the environment.
Union Cabinet Minister for Power and New and Renewable Energy Raj Kumar Singh said in a tweet: “Another landmark day in the history of the Indian Power Sector. Our installed renewable energy capacity (excluding large hydro) has crossed 1,00,000 Megawatts. Under the visionary leadership of PM @narendramodi Ji, we shall continue to be global leaders in the energy transition.”

“India has also enhanced its ambition to install 450 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. If large hydro is included the installed RE capacity increases to 146 GW,” the statement said.
