Abstract :
This paper explores India's renewable energy
policies, their impacts, and the hurdles hindering
sustainable goals amidst the country's rapid economic
growth. The Indian government has shown a strong
commitment to shifting towards renewable energy
sources to combat climate change, reduce energy
dependence, and ensure energy security. Key policies
like the National Solar Mission and Wind Energy Policy
have been instrumental in promoting renewable energy
adoption, leading to significant growth in India's
renewable energy capacity.
However, India faces challenges in managing the
intermittency and variability of renewable energy
sources, necessitating investments in grid infrastructure
and energy storage solutions. Financial burdens, grid
integration concerns, skilled manpower shortages, land
acquisition issues, and environmental impacts are
additional obstacles. This paper evaluates the
contributions of India's renewable energy policies in
reducing carbon emissions, expanding energy access,
and fostering economic growth while examining the
barriers to achieving sustainable objectives.
The analysis underscores the importance of a
comprehensive approach that integrates policy measures
with technological advancements, financial incentives,
and international cooperation. While India's renewable
energy policies have made considerable progress in
promoting sustainable development, significant
challenges persist. The study underscores the necessity
for continuous policy refinement, increased investment
in research and development, and collaborative efforts to
address barriers to renewable energy integration. India's
journey towards sustainability via renewable energy
requires ongoing commitment and innovation to
overcome these challenges effective
