Key drivers of renewable
energy in India
Energy security concerns: lndia ranks lourLh and sixLh qlobally
as Lhe larqesL imporLer ol oil, and ol peLroleum producLs and
LNC, respecLively. lndia's primary enerqy consumpLion beLween
2007 and 2011 increased aL a CACR ol 5.87, lrom 18.8
quadrillion (10^15) BLu Lo 23.6 quadrillion bLu. As a resulL ol
Lhe increasinq demand and sLaqnanL domesLic producLion, lndia
now meeLs more Lhan 707 ol iLs oil demand Lhrouqh imporLs
(increased lrom lNR^,091 billion in FY10 Lo lNR7,26^ billion in
FY12).
Civen Lhe heiqhLened compeLiLion lor Lhe procuremenL ol lossil
luels, Lhe prices ol peLroleum producLs have been increasinq
and have wiLnessed considerable volaLiliLy in recenL years. 1he
increased use ol indiqenous renewable resources is expecLed Lo
reduce lndia's dependence on expensive imporLed lossil luels.
Government support: 1he qovernmenL is playinq an acLive role
in promoLinq Lhe adopLion ol renewable enerqy resources by
encouraqinq privaLe secLor invesLmenL and mandaLinq Lhe use
ol renewable resources. lL is ollerinq various incenLives, such as
CBls and Lax holidays, Lo encouraqe Lhe developmenL and use
of renewable energy sources.
Climate change: India is among the most vulnerable countries
Lo Lhe impacL ol climaLe chanqe. ln June 2008, lndia released
a NaLional AcLion Plan on ClimaLe Chanqe (NAPCC) comprisinq
eiqhL naLional missions. 1he plan aimed aL promoLinq
Lhe undersLandinq, adapLaLion and miLiqaLion ol climaLe
chanqe, enerqy ellciency and resource conservaLion. One
ol Lhe missions, NaLional Solar Mission, aims Lo promoLe Lhe
developmenL and use ol solar enerqy lor power qeneraLion and
oLher uses, wiLh Lhe ulLimaLe ob|ecLive ol makinq solar enerqy
compeLe wiLh lossilbased enerqy opLions.
Increasing cost competitiveness of renewable energy
technology: Renewable energy is becoming increasingly
cosL compeLiLive compared Lo lossil luelbased qeneraLion.
Renewable enerqy equipmenL prices have lallen dramaLically
due Lo Lechnoloqical innovaLion, increasinq manulacLurinq scale
and experience curve qains. 1his is parLicularly Lrue ol solar
and wind Lechnoloqy, where solar module prices have declined
by almosL 807 since 2008. Wind Lurbine prices have declined
by more Lhan 257 durinq Lhe same period. Fallinq equipmenL
prices have led Lo larqescale deploymenL ol Lhese Lechnoloqies
in lndia and qlobally. lndia's insLalled solar capaciLy increased Lo
1,686 MW aL Lhe end ol FY13 lrom almosL 20 MW in FY11.
Distributed electricity demand: Renewable energy is a
disLribuLed and scalable resource, makinq iL well suiLed Lo meeL
Lhe need lor power in remoLe areas, which lack qrid and road
infrastructure.
Favorable foreign investment policy: 1he qovernmenL
has created a liberal environment for foreign investment in
renewable enerqy pro|ecLs. ln addiLion Lo allowinq 1007 loreiqn
direcL invesLmenL (FDl), Lhe qovernmenL is encouraqinq loreiqn
invesLors Lo seL up renewable enerqybased power qeneraLion
pro|ecLs on a buildownoperaLe (BOO) basis in Lhe counLry.
Vast untapped potential: lndia has abundanL unLapped
renewable enerqy resources. 1he counLry's larqe land mass
receives one of the highest levels of solar irradiation in the
world. lL has an exLensive coasLline and hiqh wind velociLy
in many areas. 1his provides ample opporLuniLies lor Lhe
esLablishmenL ol landbased renewable enerqy qeneraLion,
as well as lor ollshore wind larms. ln addiLion, Lhe counLry's
numerous rivers and waLerways have sLronq poLenLial Lo

wind capaciLy ol 19.1 CW, makinq iL Lhe world's llLhlarqesL
