At the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2026 in Davos, Switzerland, India received global recognition for its ambitious renewable energy transition roadmap. The country has achieved 50 % of its installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuels, a milestone projected to be reached five years ahead of schedule.
India’s accomplishments include scaling domestic renewable manufacturing capacity to 144 GW and reducing carbon emissions significantly through ethanol blending and green hydrogen initiatives. These strides attracted investment interests and helped position India as a key player in global climate strategy discussions.
Panel discussions emphasized the importance of cross-border collaboration to accelerate clean energy deployment worldwide, with Indian representatives advocating for technology transfer and equitable financing mechanisms.
The WEF sessions also explored related topics such as climate finance, AI governance, and economic resilience, underscoring how energy transitions are intertwined with economic and technological transformations.
