Challenges Faced By India in her Transition to Renewable Sources of Energy 

 Enthusiasm regarding India's transition to renewable sources of energy is well placed as it offers numerous opportunities and will play a vital role in fulfilling India's target of meeting 50% of electricity requirements from non fossil fuel sources by 2030. However, there are some associated challenges which need to be addressed. 



Challenges that can Impede Progress 


• Economic Factors: The huge economic burden on government due to the expensive installation process, operation cost, high transmission and distribution loss, and adoption of expensive technologies and safe waste disposal measures, will pose a challenge which needs to be addressed by attracting private investments through green bond, CSR contributions, etc and through international collaborations like One Sun One World One Grid. 


• Political Factors: Many challenges can also arise from issues regarding land acquisition, rehabilitation of dislocated people, resistance from some state governments who are dependent on revenue generated from mining activities. 


• Social Factors: Availability of resources varies from state to state in terms of finance, land availability, geographical features, social conditions, etc which can further lead to energy inequality and pose a challenge. This can be addressed through more research and development of new technologies which are more tailored as per India's energy requirement. 


India's unique geographical location gives it the potential to become a major powerhouse of clean energy exporter and successfully achieve the target of becoming a net zero country by 2070 by overcoming the challenges.
