What's behind this
The International Energy Agency says that expanding renewable energy capacity in India could save about USD 240 billion in cumulative coal and natural‑gas import costs by 2030. As solar and wind power replace imported fossil fuels, annual savings are projected to reach roughly USD 35 billion by 2030, a level that would exceed the country’s non‑coking coal and natural‑gas import bill for the 2024‑25 financial year. The agency adds that these savings would boost energy security and lower exposure to international fuel‑price volatility.
