## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS (SHRI SURESH GOPI)

- (a) to (e) As per Statistical review of World Energy released by Energy Institute in June 2025, India's total energy consumption is 6.59% of world's total consumption and the share of clean energy i.e. hydro, nuclear and renewable energy in energy supply is around 10.8%. As per BP Energy outlook 2024 for India, the total Primary energy consumption is estimated to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 3.0% upto 2030.

As  a  part  of  the  Nationally  Determined  Contribution  (NDC)  submitted  by  India  to  the Secretariat of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), India has committed to achieve 50 percent cumulative electric power installed capacity from nonfossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030.

India  has  achieved  this  target  of  having  50%  of  its  cumulative  electric  power  installed capacity  from  non-fossil  fuel-based  sources  during  June,  2025  i.e.  five  years  ahead  of  our global  commitment.    As  per  Central  Electricity  Authority  (CEA)  reports,  India's  total installed electricity capacity as of 30th June, 2025 stands at 484.82 GW, of which non-fossil fuel  based  electricity  capacity  is  242.78  GW  i.e.  50.08%.    The  242.78  GW  capacity  from

non-fossil fuel sources includes 116.25 GW solar energy, 51.67 GW wind energy, 11.60 GW bio energy, 54.48 GW hydro power, and 8.78 GW nuclear power capacity.

Government has been implementing various schemes/programmes with provision of Central Financial Assistance (CFA) to promote and further accelerate renewable energy capacity in the  country,  these inter-alia include  waiver  of  Inter  State  Transmission  System  (ISTS) charges, notification of Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) and Renewable Consumption Obligation (RCO) trajectory till 2029-30, Pradhan Mantri Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan  (PM  KUSUM),  PM  Surya  Ghar  Muft  Bijli  Yojana,  National  Programme  on High  Efficiency  Solar  PV  Modules,  New  Solar  Power  Scheme  (for  Tribal  and  PVTG Habitations/Villages)  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Janjati  Adivasi  Nyaya  Maha  Abhiyan  (PM JANMAN) and Dharti Aabha Janjatiya Gram Utkarsh Abhiyan (DA JGUA), National Green Hydrogen  Mission,  Viability  Gap  Funding  (VGF)  Scheme  for  Offshore  Wind  Energy Projects.

Government has adopted a multi-pronged strategy to promote clean energy which, inter-alia, include Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) for clean cooking fuel, demand substitution by promoting usage of natural gas as fuel/feedstock across the country towards increasing the share  of  natural  gas  in  economy  and  moving  towards  gas  based  economy,  promotion  of renewable  and  alternate  fuels  like  ethanol  through  Ethanol  Blending  Programme  (EBP), second  generation  ethanol  through  Pradhan  Mantri  JI-VAN,  compressed  bio  gas  through Sustainable  Alternative  Towards  Affordable  Transportation  (SATAT),  refinery  process improvements, promoting energy efficiency and conservation, etc

Government  has  taken  various  steps  to  ensure  the  availability  of  natural  gas  to  CNG (Transport) and PNG (Domestic) sector, which includes allocating domestic gas on priority basis  to  CNG(T)/PNG(D),  diverting  domestic  gas  from  non-priority  sectors  to  meet  the requirement for CNG(T)/PNG(D) sector, expansion of CGD network, expansion of National Gas Grid Pipeline, setting up of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal etc. After completion of 12/12A CGD bidding round, PNGRB has authorized entities for the development of CGD network in 307 Geographical Areas (GAs), covering almost 100% of the country's mainland area (excluding islands) including rural and backward regions.
