While coal remains central to India’s energy mix, renewables are advancing fast. In July 2025, India surpassed 50% non-fossil electricity generation — a milestone the government celebrated globally. With only around 192 GW of renewables installed toward its 500 GW goal by 2030, rapid acceleration is essential. Corporates will play a decisive role by shifting investments from coal, aligning with global standards, and ensuring a just transition. Building on India’s strong policy commitments, business leadership can drive ambition, unlock international finance, and set an example for the Global South’s clean energy transformation.
