The Indian government's target for the share of renewable energy in the total installed capacity of electric power in India by the year 2030 is:
A20%
B30%
C40% ✓ Correct
D50%
Correct answer: (C) 40%
Explanation
India's stated aim is for renewable sources to make up about 40 percent of total installed electric power capacity by 2030.
A target of 20 percent falls well short of the announced ambition.
A figure of 30 percent still understates the declared goal.
Setting it at 50 percent overstates the capacity share target for renewables by 2030.
This pledge was part of India's climate commitments made under the Paris Agreement.
India has already been expanding solar and wind capacity rapidly toward this end.
