Developing nations have long-standing energy issues that could be resolved by renewableenergy sources and technology. The energy scarcity in India can be addressed by usingrenewable energy sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, ocean, biomass, and fuel celltechnology. India's economy is expanding so quickly that it will need a guaranteed supply ofthree to four times as much electricity as it already uses. One way to fulfill this need is throughrenewable energy. Currently, renewables comprise approximately 33% of India's primary energy consumption. Thecountry is progressively adopting sustainable renewable energy solutions, thereby reducingcarbon emissions, improving air quality, and ensuring a more sustainable future. Over the past two and a half decades, India has actively pursued research, development, demonstration, production, and application of diverse renewable energy technologies acrossvarious sectors. This paper aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the availability, current status, keyaccomplishments, and future prospects of renewable energy options in India. Furthermore, itevaluates specific policy interventions designed to overcome existing barriers and enhance thedeployment of renewable energy solutions for a sustainable future.
