Union Budget 2025: Impact on Green Energy

When it comes to green energy, India has very specific green and clean energy goals. By March, this year, the country expects to reach an installed renewable energy capacity of 170 GW. This is a considerable increase from the 135 GW in December 2023. By 2023, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has a target to achieve 500 GW in non-fossil-based electricity generation. This is in alignment with the Prime Minister's COP26 announcement. 

​India also has a power infrastructure expansion plan in place worth ₹9,22,866 crore to help meet 458 GW demand by 2032. This will, in turn, help better integrate renewable energy, develop energy security further, improve transmissions, and bring to the fore the untapped potential of green energy. With India now ranking amongst the top 3 for emission reporting and reduction efforts, the Union Budget 2025 could truly propel this sector further towards its sustainable goals.​​

Introduction

With India’s size and growth potential, there is no doubt that its energy demand will continue to grow with each year. This is why it is of crucial importance that the new energy needs be met through renewable and low-carbon sources.  Seeing as India is expected to achieve its net-zero emissions target by 2070 and meet 50% of its electricity needs through renewable sources by 2030, the right improvements and developments in the green energy sector are very important. The right practices and provisions will help add to the global effort to combat climate change.

India stands at the fourth spot when it comes to its wind and solar power capacity and its renewable energy installed capacity as of 2023. India’s installed renewable power generation capacity has increased considerably between FY16 and FY23 by a CAGR of 15.4%.  

Keeping all this in mind and the goals it has concerning green energy, the Union Budget 2025 will have a massive role to play.
