Renewable energy is becoming more popular in India. It previously stated its intention to reach net zero emissions by 2070. Furthermore, the Ministry of Power anticipates that by 2030, the country will be able to meet 62% of its energy needs using non-fossil fuel sources totalling 500 GW. However, to reach its ambitious goal and contribute to the clean energy revolution, the country would require the help of renewable energy technologies.

Conceptualization of Clean Energy:
Our planet is powered by the energy we generate. Clean energy production enables us to generate the energy we require while avoiding the greenhouse gas emissions and other environmental effects associated with fossil fuels, so aiding in the mitigation of climate change. There are several benefits to using clean energy, but the two most significant are environmental and financial. In terms of the environment, the production of clean energy emits fewer pollutants than the production of fossil fuel-based energy. Reduced harmful emissions are a crucial step towards climate change mitigation. Financially, as the renewable energy industry grows, it has the potential to create new job opportunities and stimulate the economy.

Reduces greenhouse gas emissions- improving air quality and environmental protection
New job possibilities- may be created as manufacturing plants are developed, boosting the economy
Reduces reliance on other forms of energy- Using them may help reduce reliance on other forms of energy, such as coal

Indian Energy Transition Journey:
The Indian government arrived at this year's UN climate conference with a new set of renewable energy targets and a net-zero target for 2070, presumably reliant on the availability of a trillion dollars in financial assistance. While it is clear that Mr. Narendra Modi wants renewable energy to fulfill as much of India's future energy demand as possible, the negotiating team made no mention of a transition away from fossil fuels. Instead, it campaigned for a last-minute change in the final form of the Glasgow Climate Pact in order to reduce the emission from coal driven sources at effective quantities. Overall, switching to renewable energy provides not just long-term benefits but also enormous commercial opportunities. Because of its swift flexibility and proactive approach, India is uniquely positioned to become a global leader in the usage of renewable energy.
