India now ranks third globally in renewable energy capacity, achieving 283.46 GW of non-fossil capacity. Although India met its 50% clean energy target five years early, inadequate grid infrastructure caused 300 GWh of renewable energy curtailment in early 2026.
Click to View MoreThe International Solar Alliance drives global energy transitions by mobilizing $1 trillion in investments and deploying 1,000 GW of solar capacity by 2030. Through initiatives like OSOWOG and STAR-C, it ensures universal access to affordable, sustainable, and clean energy.
Click to View MoreThe 2026 UN ESCAP report warns that West Asian conflicts drive "imported inflation" and "greenflation," slowing India's growth to 6.4%. To ensure resilience, India must expand petroleum reserves, implement fiscal measures, and accelerate inclusive renewable energy like PM-KUSUM.
Click to View MoreThe Union Government plans to roll out PM-KUSUM 2.0, shifting from pump replacement to feeder-level solarisation. By promoting Agro-PV and using the Agri Infrastructure Fund, it tackles land and credit constraints, enables farmers as energy producers, and ensures reliable daytime power, transforming rural energy security.
