India has already beaten its 2030 clean energy targets, but scaling up round-the-clock renewables will require COP31 to deliver cheaper global capital and lower risk premiums.
India will arrive at COP31 with an unusual credential: it has already surpassed its nationally determined contribution (NDC) of achieving 50% installed power capacity from renewables by 2030. By July this year the share had soared past 54%, with more than 300GW of solar, wind, hydro, nuclear and biopower now feeding into the grid. In fiscal year 2026 (FY26), the country added a record 55GW of clean power capacity.
There can therefore be no debate on whether India is doing enough to meet its climate commitments.
