India’s Renewable Electricity Roadmap 2030

Description

The Report on India’s Renewable Electricity Roadmap 2030: Towards Accelerated Renewable Electricity Deployment by NITI Aayog serves as a comprehensive guide to integrating renewable energy (RE) into India’s evolving power system. It assesses the challenges and opportunities of expanding renewable electricity generation while ensuring system reliability, affordability, and sustainability.

Developed through multi-stakeholder consultations, the report provides a structured roadmap covering critical themes such as investment, manufacturing, human resource development, project risk management, grid integration, and policy reforms. It addresses key issues including chronic supply shortages, environmental impacts of fossil fuel dependency, water and land constraints, and institutional coordination gaps.

The roadmap emphasizes the need for a strong national renewable energy policy, efficient grid planning, flexible operations, and innovative financing mechanisms to support RE growth. It also highlights the importance of domestic manufacturing, RD&D (Research, Development, and Demonstration), and skill development to strengthen India’s clean energy ecosystem.

By envisioning a future powered by wind, solar, and other renewables, the roadmap aligns with India’s long-term sustainability goals and global commitments under the Paris Agreement, reinforcing the nation’s transition towards a low-carbon, energy-secure economy.
