While outlining plans to increase the capacity of renewable energy sources and reach significant sustainability milestones, Prime Minister Narendra Modi underlined that the nation’s energy sector is essential to the nation’s growth aspirations. During India Energy Week 2025, Modi stated virtually that experts throughout the world agree that India is the rightful owner of the twenty-first century. He pointed out that India’s energy industry is a major factor in this transition, which is driving both domestic and global economic growth.

The prime minister outlined the five essential elements of India’s energy vision: strategic geography, innovation promotion, economic might with political stability, harnessing resources, and a dedication to global sustainability.

He emphasized that the nation will exceed a number of significant milestones in the next five years and that the next two decades will be critical to reaching “Viksit Bharat” (developed India).

Renewable Energy Targets and Sustainability Goals

Modi reaffirmed India’s grand goal of having Indian Railways achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2030 and installing 500 gigawatts (GW) of renewable energy capacity. He acknowledged that these objectives might seem lofty, but he was certain that India would achieve them, pointing to the country’s notable advancements over the previous ten years.
