India should increase its solar power capacity to 5630 gigawatt in order to become a net-zero emissions nation by 2070, according to a study.
At present, India has 100 GW of installed renewable energy capacity, of which solar comprises 40 GW, the study released by the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) on Tuesday said. The government has set an ambitious target to scale up its total renewable energy capacity to 450 GW by 2030.
