India has achieved a significant milestone in its clean energy journey, surpassing Germany to become the world's third-largest generator of wind and solar power. According to a recent report by Ember, India's commitment to renewable energy saw these sources contribute a substantial 10% of its total electricity generation in 2024.  

This impressive growth is largely attributed to the rapid expansion of solar power capacity in the country. Driven by supportive government policies and decreasing technology costs, India added an impressive 24 Gigawatts (GW) of solar capacity in the past year alone.

This surge in renewable energy generation firmly reinforces India's ambitious goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by the year 2030. This target underscores the nation's commitment to a sustainable energy future and its role in global climate action.

The Ember report highlights India's dynamic progress in the renewable energy sector, positioning it as a key player in the global energy transition. By prioritizing wind and solar power, India is not only reducing its reliance on fossil fuels but also paving the way for a cleaner and more secure energy system.
