India Quadruples Solar Power Ambition by 2035
According to the Central Electricity Authority’s new Generation Adequacy Plan, India intends to significantly expand its renewable energy sector. Projections indicate a near fourfold increase in solar power capacity and a tripling of wind power assets within ten years. By the 2035-2036 fiscal year, solar capacity is expected to reach 509 GW, with wind power capacity projected to hit 155 GW. This expansion is part of a broader strategy to shift towards non-fossil fuel-based energy, aiming for 70% of total installed capacity to be non-fossil fuel-based by 2035-36, supported by substantial energy storage installations.
