A Review of India's Renewable Energy Transition: Policies, Achievements, and Integration Challenges

India possesses considerable capacity to generate electricity through various renewable energy sources. The Indian government has earnestly prioritized reducing energy shortfalls and increasing renewable energy utilization. This study primarily aims to assess India's vast potential for renewable energy development. The methodology adopted to evaluate India's energy capabilities leverages International Energy Agency (IEA) projections. The results show that the nation has made notable advancements. India's energy policies center on its position concerning the transition to renewable energy. Renewables are expected to constitute 42% of global electricity by 2028. The study identifies gaps in the efforts of both state-level and national institutions to address the challenges associated with integrating renewables. The research underscores the importance of policy support and technological innovation in overcoming integration challenges and achieving national renewable targets.
