Businesses are confident of growth in India's renewable energy sector

In a new report, renewable energy consultancy Bridge to India has revelaed the anticipated progress for India’s renewable energy sector over the next half a decade. As per the firm, rapid development in the solar energy sector is expected to drive the overall energy generation up to 80 gigawatts (GW).Rapid growth in India has been accompanied by an increased awareness of environmental considerations. In 2014, the Government of India announced that it would substantially ramp up its renewable energy generation capabilities in the country, driven by clearly defined goals for coming years.Alongside the aim of developing 10,000 megawatts (MW) in additional capacity for the wind sector, the government at the time announced grand plans for the solar energy sector. Where the original target for installed capacity in solar energy was 20 GW by 2022, the government increased it to 100GW.
