The ministry is currently headed by R.K. Singh, a Minister of State - In Charge. The ministry was established as the Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources in 1992. It adopted its current name in October 2006. The Ministry is mainly responsible for research and development, intellectual property protection, and international cooperation, promotion, and coordination in renewable energy sources such as wind power, small hydro, biogas, and solar power. The broad aim of the ministry is to develop and deploy new and renewable energy for supplementing the energy requirements of India. The ministry is headquartered in Lodhi Road, New Delhi. According to the Ministry 's 2016 - 17 annual report, India has made significant advances in several renewable energy sectors which include, solar energy, wind power, and hydroelectricity.

The CASE was responsible for the formulation of policies and their implementation, creation of programmes for development of new and renewable energy and coordinating and intensifying R&D in the sector. In 1982, a new department was created in the then Ministry of Energy, i.e., Department of Non-conventional Energy Sources ( DNES ). DNES incorporated CASE under its umbrella. A decade later, in 1992, DNES became the Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources ( MNES ). In October 2006, the Ministry was re-christened as the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy. Mission The Mission of the Ministry is to ensure Energy Security : Lesser dependence on oil imports through development and deployment of alternative fuels ( hydrogen, bio-fuels and synthetic fuels ) and their applications to contribute towards bridging the gap between domestic oil supply and demand ; Increase in the share of clean power : Renewable ( bio, wind, hydro, solar, geothermal & tidal ) electricity to supplement fossil fuel based electricity generation ; Energy Availability and Access : Supplement energy needs of cooking, heating, motive power and captive generation in rural, urban, industrial and commercial sectors ; Energy Affordability : Cost - competitive, convenient, safe, and reliable new and renewable energy supply options ; and Energy Equity : Per - capita energy consumption at par with the global average level by 2050, through a sustainable and diverse fuel - mix. Vision To develop new and renewable energy technologies, processes, materials, components, sub-systems, products & services at par with international specifications, standards and performance parameters in order to make the country a net foreign exchange earner in the sector and deploy such indigenously developed and / or manufactured products and services in furtherance of the national goal of energy security. Key functional area The major functional area or Allocation of Business of MNRE are : Commission for Additional Sources of Energy ( CASE ) ; Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency ( IREDA ) ; Integrated Rural Energy Programme ( IREP ) ; Research and development of Biogas and programmes relating to Biogas units ; Solar Energy including Solar Photovoltaic devices and their development, production, and applications ; Programme relating to improved chulhas and research and development thereof ; All matters relating to small / mini / micro hydel projects and below 25 MW capacities ; Research and development of other non-conventional / renewable sources of energy and programmes relating thereto ; Tidal energy ; Geothermal Energy ; Biofuel : ( i ) National Policy ; ( ii ) research, development and demonstration on transport, stationary and other applications ; ( iii ) setting up of a National Bio-fuels Development Board and strengthening the existing institutional mechanism ; and ( iv ) overall coordination. Initiatives Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission ( JNNSM ) - The National Solar Mission was launched on the 11th January 2010 by the Prime Minister. The Mission has set the ambitious target of deploying 20,000 MW of grid - connected solar power by 2022. Further, Government has revised the target of Grid Connected Solar Power Projects from 20,000 MW by the year 2021 - 22 to 100,000 MW by the year 2021 - 22 under the National Solar Mission and it was approved by Cabinet on 17th June 2015.

Off - grid During the same time period, the total deployment of an Off - grid based renewable energy capacity was about 1403.70 MW. Of these, Biomass ( ( non-bagasse ) Cogeneration consisted of 651.91 MW, Bio mass Gasifier was 186.88 MW Waste to energy was 163.35 MW, SPV Systems ( of less than 1 Kilowatt ( kW ) ) capacity was 405.54 1 MW, and the rest from micro-Hydro and Wind power. Other Renewable Energy systems The total number of deployment of Family Biogas plant was 49.40 lakhs. And the total area that is covered with Solar water heating ( SWH ) systems was 4.47 Million m. Institutions The Ministry has 5 specialized technical institution. They are : - National Institute of Solar Energy ( NISE ) : National Institute of Solar Energy, an autonomous institution of Ministry of New and Renewable ( MNRE ), is the apex National R&D institution in the field Solar Energy. The Government of India has converted 25 - year - old Solar Energy Centre ( SEC ) under MNRE to an autonomous institution in September 2013 to assist the Ministry in implementing the National Solar Mission and to coordinate research, technology, skill development, training, consultancy, incubation and other related works. NISE is located in Gurugram, Haryana National Institute of Wind Energy ( NIWE ) : NIWE has been established in Chennai in the year 1998, as an autonomous R&D institution by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy ( MNRE ), Government of India.
