India is working hard to use more clean energy.
The government says they need a lot of money for new projects like battery storage, green hydrogen, and wind power.
They have already invested a huge amount in the last five years.
The good news is that many global investors are interested in India's clean energy projects.
The government is also making it easier for foreign companies to invest.
They want to make sure India can produce a lot of power without using fossil fuels by 2030.
This will help the environment and make sure India has enough clean energy for the future.

Investment in the RE sector has grown from ₹0.66 lakh crore in FY21 to ₹2.68 lakh crore in FY25.
India requires an estimated ₹30.5 lakh crore from FY24 to FY30 to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based power capacity.
