India’s Renewable Energy Push Reshapes Its Clean Energy Future

India is building much more solar and wind power.

Its renewable energy capacity has passed 200 gigawatts.

Renewables now make up nearly 45 percent of the country’s installed electricity capacity, according to the article.

Government programs are helping farmers and households use solar energy.

Some farmers can produce electricity, while rooftop solar can lower household power bills.

India is also making more solar panels, batteries, wind turbines, and other equipment at home.

This growth is creating jobs for engineers, technicians, researchers, and skilled workers.

A new plan called the National Green Hydrogen Mission focuses on cleaner fuel for industries and transport.

Coal, other thermal power, and nuclear power still help meet India’s electricity demand.
