India missed its target to install 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022, and is now trying to make up for that by boosting solar, wind, nuclear, hydropower and bio-power to 500 GW by 2030. Overall, India is also looking to boost its share of non-fossil capacity, which can include big hydro and nuclear to 50% by 2030.
