India Hits 50% Non-Fossil Energy Capacity Target Early
India is making a big change in how it gets its electricity!
They now get half of their power from sources that don't pollute, like the sun, wind, and water.
This is a big deal because it helps the environment.
They actually reached this goal way ahead of schedule!
This was thanks to government plans like the PM-KUSUM and other solar and wind projects.
India aims to keep increasing its use of clean energy and has plans for the future.
India has achieved 50% of its installed power capacity from non-fossil fuel sources.
