India’s renewables expansion is delivering major energy security benefits amid heightened uncertainty in global energy markets
🇮🇳 shows how consistent policies can help drive down renewable energy costs & attract investment, offering valuable lessons for other emerging economies
@JoshiPralhad
India’s #renewableenergy transition is not just advancing sustainability; it is strengthening our energy security and economic resilience.
The @IEA estimates that expanding renewable energy could save India nearly $240 billion in coal and natural gas imports by 2030. This is the power of #AatmanirbharBharat, reducing import dependence, conserving foreign exchange and building a cleaner, more self-reliant energy future. Under the visionary leadership of PM Shri @narendramodi ji, India is turning its clean#energy ambitions into a powerful engine of national growth.
