India, a global leader in renewable energy ambitions, is steadfast in its journey toward sustainable development. With a commitment to reducing carbon emissions and addressing climate change, the nation has set ambitious targets for renewable energy deployment by 2025. These goals align with India’s pledge under the Paris Agreement to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, while creating a robust framework for green growth.
By 2025, India aims to significantly enhance its renewable energy portfolio, focusing on solar, wind, hydropower, and biomass to meet a target of 175 GW of renewable capacity. This initiative reflects not only an environmental responsibility but also a strategic move to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels, boost energy security, and support millions of green jobs. As India transitions to a low-carbon economy, these efforts are set to position the country as a hub for innovation in clean energy technology and a role model for sustainable development globally.

According to Mr. Manish Dabkara, Chairman and Managing Director, EKI Energy Services
While specific 2025 targets varied, key global objectives are focused on significantly increasing the share of renewable energy in the global energy mix. India, a leader in renewable energy expansion, aims to substantially increase solar and wind power capacity, with a focus on emerging technologies like green hydrogen. Having achieved 94.17 GW of solar energy capacity and 47.96 GW of wind energy capacity in 2024, India moves confidently into 2025, the implementation of the Request for Selection (RfS) for 5.39 lakh MT/year of green ammonia capacity is set to bolster India’s green hydrogen economy, paving the way for cleaner energy and reduced dependency on fossil fuels. A Rs. 200 crore initiative by MNRE will create a robust testing ecosystem for green hydrogen, supporting infrastructure and quality assurance, accelerating India’s transition to a hydrogen-based economy and position the country as a leader in green energy technologies, marking 2025 as a landmark year.
PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana (PMSGMBY), the world’s largest rooftop solar initiative for households, is revolutionizing India’s solar energy sector. By March 2025, over 1 million installations are expected, with the number anticipated to double to 2 million by October 2025.
India is expected to continue to increase its renewable share in the energy mix as is the case with most countries globally. India is also looking to focus on enhanced energy security, improving grid integration, promoting energy efficiency, advancing RE technologies, support for RE deployment, and in general a favourable ecosystem for RE promotion.
According to Mr. Ishan Chaturvedi Director & Co-founder, Vareyn Solar Pvt. Ltd
Renewable energy has been growing since the past few years and the sector will witness continue to witness transformative growth. We are very much a part of this growth and our vision aligns with India’s ambitious targets for renewable energy deployment. This year, we aim to expand our solar footprint by commissioning high-impact projects across key sectors, including hospitality and industrial applications. By integrating emerging technologies such as AI-driven energy management and hybrid solar solutions, we are making renewable energy more efficient and accessible. This year, we plan to launch projects focused on sustainable energy storage, ensuring uninterrupted green power supply even during peak demands. We are also focusing on residential solar projects after building strong presence in the hospitality sector.
Additionally, we are exploring partnerships to promote solar-powered EV charging infrastructure, addressing the dual goals of clean energy adoption and mobility transformation. Our ongoing efforts to strengthen client relationships, such as renewing long-term maintenance contracts with heritage properties, underscore our focus on reliability and trust.
By combining innovation with impact-driven initiatives, we envision a future where renewable energy becomes a cornerstone of India’s economic growth.

According to Mr. Piyush Goyal Co-Founder & CEO, Volks Energie
2024 has been a significant year in India’s strive towards sustainability, and schemes such as the PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana or other initiatives for Hydrogen electrolysers have accelerated transition towards prioritising green & clean energy. The total capacity for clean energy reached 215 GW.
India will need to put substantial efforts to meet its 2030 vision of 500 GW by adding 50 GW of clean power annually and also cater for 250 GWh of battery storage.
BESS deployment becomes imperative as it can store and deploy energy to the grid during peak hours, ensuing grid stability. Development of Green Hydrogen policies at both central and state level is required to provide a way forward for the industry
Including all Supporting service providers and rewarding innovation in the space would be mission-critical for India’s goals. We at Volks Energie stay committed to being a reliable ally of the government in meeting its energy targets.
According to Dr. Prashant Bhalla, President, MREI & Chancellor MRU & MRIIRS
As part of our 2025 Sustainability Goals, Manav Rachna Educational Institutions (MREI) remain committed to fostering innovation and sustainability through cutting-edge initiatives. The Centre of Excellence for Electric Vehicle Technology aligns with our vision to create a sustainable future. By integrating specialized EV programs into our curriculum and providing hands-on learning opportunities at the Innovation and Incubation Centre, we aim to equip students with the skills required for the growing EV industry. This initiative reflects our dedication to supporting India’s EV vision and nurturing future-ready professionals.
MREI is at the forefront of sustainable development, embedding the principles of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into their academic and community-driven initiatives. The Centre for Advanced Water Technology and Management (MRCAWTM) pioneers innovative solutions for water sustainability through research, training, and outreach programs. It promotes water conservation and climate-resilient strategies, addressing pressing environmental challenges. Dr. O.P. Bhalla Foundation, through impactful programs like Kaushal (IT skilling), Margdarshan (career guidance), and Anemia Mukt Manav Rachna, enhances quality education, gender equality, and health outcomes. Environmental programs, including the Mega Plantation Drive and Green Grah (plastic recycling), promote climate action and sustainable consumption. Initiatives like Ek Mutthi Daan and Paridaan ensure food security and reduce inequalities. Through initiatives like SustainEd, the Centre for Peace and Sustainability creates Green Warriors, Peace Ambassadors, and Gender Champions, empowering youth to lead grassroots change and build resilient communities for a sustainable future.
