India Exceeds Clean Energy Target Early, Reaching 50%
India is now getting half of its electricity from sources like the sun and wind.
This happened ahead of schedule.
The government and companies built many solar and wind farms.
Solar power has grown a lot.
AGEL, a big company, is also working on storing energy for when the sun isn't shining.
India aims to keep adding more clean energy to meet the growing demand for power as the country becomes more urban and digital.
India reached 50% of power capacity from non-fossil fuels, five years early.
Clean energy capacity, including large hydropower, is 234 GW.
Solar power capacity grew 41 times since 2014, reaching 116 GW.
Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) is the leading renewable energy company.
India's energy demand is rapidly increasing, driven by urbanization.
