NEW DELHI — India has reached an impressive 90 GW of installed solar capacity and is moving steadily forward towards its broader goal of 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, said on Monday. Addressing the 7th General Assembly of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) here, the minister said India is also setting its sights on new horizons, with a target to produce 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030, supported by 125 GW of renewable energy capacity. “We have approved 50 solar parks with a total capacity of nearly 37.5 GW and identified potential offshore wind energy sites to reach our 30 GW goal by 2030,” Joshi told the gathering. The Union Budget for 2024-25 had 110 per cent increase in funding for solar power projects and targeted support for initiatives like the PM-Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana.
