Abstract

India has emerged as a global leader in embracing renewable energy, with a remarkable expansion in installed capacity, reaching an estimated 163 gigawatts by August 2022, including a significant contribution from wind energy. This growth has been accelerated by India's ambitious renewable energy initiatives and well-crafted policies. Notably, this transition has led to a decline in coal power capacity, with numerous coal projects either canceled or postponed, and 15.6 gigawatts of coal-fired capacity decommissioned between 2010 and 2022. This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of renewable energy in India, with a specific focus on the progress of the wind energy sector. It underscores India's significant achievements in wind energy and the vast potential for further growth. The study emphasizes the importance of sustained dedication, innovation, and strategic reforms, positioning India to meet its rising energy demands while solidifying its global leadership in wind energy. This journey towards renewable energy promises a sustainable and environmentally responsible future for the nation.
