Abstract:

Sustainable energy and inexpensive, dependable, sustainable, and contemporary energy for citizens enable sustainable development. India leads one of the world's most appealing renewable energy sectors due to government assistance and an improving economy. The government has created regulations, initiatives, and a flexible environment to attract international investment and rapidly expand the renewable energy sector. Renewable energy is expected to provide many home employment in the next years. This article discusses India's renewable energy development's successes, prospects, predictions, power generation, obstacles, investment, and employment potential. This review identifies renewable industry challenges. Policymakers, innovators, project developers, investors, industries, stakeholders and departments, researchers, and scientists will benefit from the review suggestions. India is working to achieve green growth by achieving a balance between economic development and ecological conservation. To achieve this, the country is employing new techniques for environmental sustainability and green energy. Among the most important projects are the development of green hydrogen, the promotion of biofuels, and the expansion of solar and wind energy. Despite the fact that hurdles like as grid infrastructure and early investment costs continue to exist, these initiatives are backed by robust government policies, increased private investment, and technology breakthroughs. In order to achieve sustainable development, the objective is to lessen the impact of pollution and climate change while simultaneously improving energy security.
