India's Renewable Energy Growth Cuts Fuel Imports While Coal Remains Key
India's renewable energy expansion has significantly reduced coal and natural gas imports, saving over USD 100 billion between 2011 and 2025, with projected savings reaching USD 240 billion by 2030, according to the International Energy Agency. The country has rapidly increased solar, wind, and bioenergy capacity, achieving 50% of installed electricity from non-fossil sources by 2025. While renewables grow, coal remains a major energy source due to its lower social cost. Innovations like agrivoltaics offer ways to combine solar power with agriculture, supporting energy and food security simultaneously.
