According to the officials, India may easily exceed the 500 GW renewable energy target by 2030. India holds the fourth biggest installed capacity for renewable energy, according to Additional Secretary of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), Sudeep Jain.

"500 GW we will easily surpass ahead of time. We have been surpassing a lot of NDCs (Nationally Determined Contribution) before time," the official said.

As India strives towards its net zero goals, the official emphasised that a major role is to be played to create awareness for new technologies concerning green hydrogen.

"For the green hydrogen mission the target is 10 MMT (Million Metric Tonnes) and 125 GW is needed just to power that and we are confident we'll be fulfilling that," he said.
