In a keynote address at the Kautilya Economic Conclave, Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled India’s ambitious targets for renewable energy, emphasizing the government’s commitment to sustainability and innovation. He announced that India aims to produce 5 million tons of green hydrogen by the end of the decade, positioning the nation as a key player in the global energy transition.
“We are also taking solar power production to the micro level in India,” Modi stated, highlighting the government’s proactive measures to enhance renewable energy generation across the country. He introduced the PM SuryaGhar Free Electricity Scheme, a large-scale rooftop solar initiative designed to empower households with sustainable energy solutions.
The Prime Minister explained that under this scheme, the government will fund families to install rooftop solar systems, providing essential support for the establishment of solar infrastructure. “This is not just a scheme; it is a movement towards making every home a contributor to clean energy,” he said, emphasizing the transformative potential of solar power in rural and urban settings alike.
Modi’s remarks reflect India’s broader strategy to achieve energy independence and reduce carbon emissions while promoting sustainable development. By incentivizing solar energy at the household level, the government aims to make renewable energy accessible to millions, driving both economic growth and environmental responsibility.
The announcement has been welcomed by industry experts and environmental advocates who see it as a significant step towards achieving India’s climate goals. As the country seeks to bolster its renewable energy capacity, the initiatives highlighted by PM Modi at the Kautilya Economic Conclave are expected to pave the way for a greener and more sustainable future.
