India wants non-fossil fuel energy sources to provide half of its electricity supply by 2030. To achieve this goal, the country needs massive funding for renewable energy and an investment of $223 billion to meet its goals by 2030. New report from research company BloombergNEF (BNEF). At COP26 in November 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced India’s plans to reduce emissions intensity by more than 45% by 2030 below 2005 levels, and set five decarbonization targets as ‘panchamrit’ (nectar from five ingredients). ) was agreed. case, five promises).
To sum up the five nectars, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said, “First- India will reach its non-fossil energy capacity of 500 GW by 2030. Second- India will meet 50 percent of its energy needs from renewable energy by 2030. Third – India will reduce total estimated carbon emissions by one billion tonnes from now to 2030. Fourth – By 2030, India will reduce the carbon intensity of its economy by 45 per cent. And fifth – by the year 2070, India will achieve net. Goal of zero. This Panchamrit will be India’s unprecedented contribution to climate action.

According to a forecast by the Central Electricity Authority of India, dependence on coal will drop from 53 percent of installed capacity in 2021 to 33 percent in 2030, while solar and wind together will make up 51 percent by then, up from 23 percent in 2021 . India’s electricity generation capacity grew by 118% between 2011 and 2021. The renewable share of capacity will reach 37% in 2021, up from 31% in 2012. Solar power expanded fastest to 60GW in 2021 at least
Compared to 1GW in 2011.
The report “Financing India’s 2030 Renewables Ambition” has been published in collaboration with Power Foundation of India. India has invested about $75 billion in the past eight years to install 165 GW in renewable energy between 2014 and 2021, which is now triple to meet India’s 500 GW target by 2030, the report said. $223 billion is needed.
Meeting the CEA’s 2030 optimum capacity mix will require an investment of $363 billion in new power projects and building batteries between 2020 and 2029.
Of this, from 2020 to 2029: $241 billion will be needed to build solar and wind power plants and another $26 billion to build battery storage projects.
In 2020 and 2021, New-Build Wind and Solar together secured $17.4 billion in asset financing. Therefore, an average of $27.9 billion is needed annually from 2022 to 2029 to meet the 2030 goals.
The report concludes that the corporate commitment of Indian companies can help India achieve 86 per cent of its 2030 targets of building 500 GW of cumulative non-fossil power generation capacity. Several large corporates are contributing to India’s path to achieving the 2030 climate goals, the top-10 independent power producers have 33GW of renewable current and 46GW in the pipeline
Reliance is leading the pack with an aim to invest $10bn to create a renewable energy ecosystem by 2024 and will build and enable 100GW of solar systems. Adani Group aims to become the world’s largest solar power company by 2025 and the world’s largest renewable energy company by 2030. Tata Power plans to build a 25 GW green energy portfolio, JSW 15 GW renewable energy with a plan of $10 billion by 2030 and NTPC 60 GW renewable energy by 2032. ,

India needs to invest to meet its climate targets of wind and solar capacity installations by 2030
According to a new report by research company BloombergNEF (BNEF), India will need to invest $223 billion to meet its target of wind and solar capacity installations by 2030.
The target is part of the five decarbonization targets that were announced by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at COP26 in November 2021. Additionally, India aims to meet 50 percent of its electricity demand from renewable energy, making renewable energy particularly important to meet. The country’s 2030 and 2070 climate goals.
The “Financing India’s 2030 Renewables Ambition” report, published in collaboration with the Power Foundation of India, found that the corporate commitment of Indian companies to achieve 86 percent of their 2030 goals of building 500 GW of cumulative non-fossil power generation capacity to India. can help. By 2021, 165 GW of zero-carbon generation had already been installed in the country. India’s Central Electricity Authority has projected that the country’s reliance on coal will drop from 53 percent of installed capacity in 2021 to 33 percent in 2030, while solar and wind together make up. 51 percent by then, up from 23 percent in 2021.
India has consistently ranked among the key emerging markets covered by ClimateScope, BNEF’s flagship report analyzing market attractiveness for energy transition investments. In 2021, India was ranked first in the electricity category among 107 emerging markets. Transparent market mechanism, supportive policies and ambitious government goals have attracted many domestic and international players to India’s renewables market.
