India is targeting a significant increase in renewable energy capacity, aiming for 1,800 GW by 2050. Santosh Kumar Sarangi, secretary of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, emphasized the necessity of adopting a super grid approach akin to China's during the CII Annual Business Summit 2026. The government has earmarked about $574 billion for infrastructure improvements by 2030, including high-voltage direct current (HVDC) and alternating current (HVAC) lines to efficiently transport power from renewable energy-rich areas to consumption centers. Sarangi highlighted the potential of innovative technologies, such as perovskite solar cells, which could lower solar energy tariffs to around Re 1 per unit. He stressed the importance of flexible policymaking to attract investment and ensure collaboration between the Centre and state governments. Additionally, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is working on enhancing the green energy corridor scheme and addressing renewable energy curtailments. Ashish Khanna, director general of the International Solar Alliance, pointed out the need for Indian private sector engagement in international partnerships, particularly in regions like Africa, which are interested in solar initiatives similar to India’s.
