 India's renewable energy, RE, currently accounts for over a third of its total installed capacity and nearly half of its power production, including large-scale hydropower. The country has made significant progress towards meeting its renewable energy targets through reforms like the establishment of a single national power grid and the ambitious development of RE. These efforts have enabled the country to make great strides towards achieving its goals for the future. To further accelerate this progress, India must standardize its guidelines and develop stable grid and transmission networks. Additionally, it must strive to reach its ambitious target of 500 GW of green and clean energy by 2030. This paper discusses the importance of national solar mission, NSM, initiatives in achieving this goal, as well as the key challenges and ways forward. It also highlights the potential challenges to achieving the targets, providing a focus for power developers, policymakers, researchers, and industry practitioners.
