What capacity target has India set to emerge as a global leader by 2030 in generating renewable energy?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → 500 GW
At the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow in November 2021, India announced the target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel electricity capacity by 2030, one of the five points of its ‘Panchamrit’ climate commitments. Most of this capacity is to come from renewable sources such as solar and wind, with hydro and nuclear power making up the rest.
