India to achieve 50% clean energy share before 2030 deadline: Singh
India will easily achieve the target of 50 per cent share of energy from non-fossil fuels and also the 500-gigawatt (GW) renewable energy capacity before the deadline of 2030 set by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said Power and New & Renewable Energy R K Singh.
It assumes significance in view of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s pledge at the COP26 Climate Conference in Glasgow that India will achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2070.
Modi also raised the nationally determined contribution (NDC) target of non-fossil energy capacity to 500 GW by 2030, from 450 gigawatts earlier.
Talking to PTI, Singh said, “We are working hard towards the prime minister’s target of 500 GW from renewable energy by 2030.
