Wait 5 sec.

India is set for a massive renewable energy boost. Solar power capacity is expected to quadruple, and wind energy capacity to triple over the next decade. This will significantly reduce the nation's reliance on coal for electricity. Non-fossil fuel capacity will reach 786 gigawatts by 2035-36. Solar energy will form the largest part of this clean power mix.
