Union Minister Pralhad Joshi said that India's clean energy revolution is a national mission.

Pralhad Joshi, the Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy, has reiterated that India's clean energy revolution is a national purpose rather than only an environmental objective. He emphasized the importance of private investment in reaching India's ambitious goal of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 while speaking at the IVCA Renewable Energy Summit 2025 at IIT Bombay. India is seeing historic capital inflows and significant policy support for green manufacturing, battery storage, and renewable energy generation.

The central government will shortly start PM-KUSUM Yojana 2, according to a union minister, in response to demands from 20 state ministers and the success of the PM-KUSUM Yojana in states like Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, and Rajasthan. For this following stage, he attributed it to investors' increasing interest in alternative energy sources like wind and solar.

India's sustainable energy industry is expanding at a rate never seen before. Reaching 50% of its installed energy capacity from non-fossil fuel sources, five years ahead of the 2030 objective, is a significant milestone for the country. This puts India in the top three countries in the world for adding capacity for renewable energy.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, according to Mr. Joshi, is still driving Bharat's green revolution and clearing the way for a sustainable and independent future. This accomplishment demonstrates the effectiveness of aggressive policy implementation, creative policy formulation, and the country's strong commitment to climate responsibility and fairness.

The minister emphasized that India's energy transition is a testament to the achievement of ambitious ideas, skillful operation, and a strong dedication to climate justice and accountability. The foundation for this change has been established by flagship projects such as PM-KUSUM, PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana, the creation of solar parks, and the National Wind-Solar Hybrid Policy.
