India’s remarkable surge in solar energy deployment propelled it past Japan, securing its position as the world’s third-largest solar power generator in 2023. Solar energy continued its unprecedented growth streak, outpacing coal in global electricity generation for the 19th consecutive year.
In 2015, India ranked ninth in solar energy deployment, but by 2023, it produced 5.8% of its electricity from solar, up from 0.5% in 2015. This significant increase underscores India’s commitment to clean energy and its pivotal role in mitigating climate change.
India’s ambitious national plan to combat climate change aims to achieve 50% cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030.
At the COP28 climate change conference, world leaders committed to tripling global renewable energy capacity by 2030, aligning with the imperative to limit the average temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius.
