Rajasthan Targets 125 GW Renewable Capacity by 2030
Rajasthan wants to produce much more clean energy by 2030.
It plans to increase renewable-energy capacity from about 50 gigawatts to 125 gigawatts.
Solar power currently makes up most of Rajasthan’s renewable energy.
Wind power is also important, especially in areas such as Jaisalmer.
Reaching the target will require more power plants, transmission lines and energy storage.
Companies could invest in solar panels, wind equipment, construction and maintenance.
Green hydrogen projects may also become part of the plan.
Government officials say they want to make it easier for businesses to invest.
Rajasthan’s plan would also help India work toward its national 500-gigawatt clean-energy goal.
Rajasthan aims to expand renewable-energy capacity from about 50 GW to 125 GW by 2030.
Solar accounts for 44.135 GW of the state’s approximately 50.33 GW renewable capacity, while wind contributes about 5.54 GW.
The expansion is expected to create opportunities in solar, wind, manufacturing, transmission, storage and green hydrogen.
Officials and industry representatives promoted Rajasthan’s investment prospects at the BRE Summit and Expo 2026 roadshow in Jaipur.
Rajasthan’s target supports India’s national goal of reaching 500 GW of non-fossil-fuel capacity by 2030.
