"While 100 GW has been installed, 50 GW is under installation and 27 GW is under tendering. India has also enhanced its ambition to install 450 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030. If large hydro is included, the installed RE capacity increases to 146 GW," said the Ministry.  

The Ministry said it is a right step towards achieving India's ambitious target in this domain.  "The achievement of installed RE capacity of 100 GW is an important milestone in India’s journey towards its target of 450 GW by 2030," noted the statement from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
