12 Jan 2026 Evaluate

The Union Minister Pralhad Joshi has emphasized the need of unprecedented investment and cooperation to facilitate the global energy transition and called for international cooperation to support developing countries in scaling up renewable energy capacity without compromising development aspirations. He added that India alone is expected to require around $300 billion by 2030, creating significant opportunities across renewable generation, storage, green hydrogen, grids, and manufacturing. He also highlighted that India continues to remain one of the most attractive destinations for clean energy investment led by stable policies and transparent markets.

Moreover, in order to accelerate the global renewable energy transition, he noted that the country stands ready to share its experience, institutions and technical expertise and to work closely with all member countries, especially least developed countries and small island developing states. He further emphasised that India's energy transition is not only about capacity addition, but about people, opportunity, and a shared sustainable future.

The minister has highlighted the progress of various government initiatives aimed at supporting clean energy in India. He noted that under the PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, around 2.5 million households have benefitted from rooftop solar installations in less than two years, with a target to cover 10 million households by March 2027. Further, under the PM-KUSUM scheme, about 2.17 million farmers have benefited through the replacement of diesel pumps and solarisation of agricultural feeders.
