Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that India plans to add 500 gigawatts (GW) of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030, during the inauguration of the Bharat Renewable Energy Summit & Expo 2026 in New Delhi. Modi highlighted that India's investments in clean energy over the past decade have shielded the country from severe external shocks, such as the West Asia crisis, and maintained high economic growth. He emphasized that energy security is directly linked to economic security and that the future of energy security lies in clean energy. India has already achieved nearly 300 GW of non-fossil installed power capacity, accounting for more than 50% of its total capacity. The Prime Minister also pitched for a 'clean cooking movement' to reduce dependence on imported gas and urged for wider adoption of electric vehicles.
