India's energy sector is undergoing a significant transformation, with coal's share in the country's installed capacity dropping below 50% in FY24. This shift reflects a growing emphasis on renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydroelectric power. The government's efforts to promote clean energy initiatives, coupled with technological advancements and changing market dynamics, are driving this transition. While coal remains important for baseload power generation, India's move towards cleaner energy alternatives signals a broader transformation in the energy sector, with implications for investment, policy, and economic growth. Balancing energy security, affordability, and sustainability will be crucial in shaping India's future energy landscape towards a low-carbon future.
