Our work in India

Over 15 Indian headquartered companies are RE100 members, and over 200 international members report operations in the country.

India has a 2070 net zero target, and wind and solar accounted for 10% of the country's electricity generation in 2024. 

RE100 members source 39% of their electricity from renewables in India, compared to 53% for RE100 member electricity use globally. 

RE100's policy messages for India

We've set out six policy recommendations which seek to support the government with the roll-out of renewables. These messages are designed to speed up electricity market reforms and make it easier for companies to buy renewable electricity directly. 

Recent policy updates

  • Published in December 2023, this RE100 report looks at common policy barriers that are hampering the rollout of renewables in some of the world’s biggest economies, including India. The barriers identified in this report fall under three common themes, the availability of renewable electricity, the accessibility of this electricity for corporate use, and the affordability of renewable electricity.

  • This report from September 2022 looks into the relationship between high electricity consuming countries in the G20, and the pace of progress in renewable electricity deployment, corporate procurement and investment opportunities – including how India has more than tripled its renewable electricity capacity additions in the space of a decade, yet capital costs and grid connection challenges remain a barrier to further progress on renewables.

  • In 2022, we launched three reports that emphasise the role of commercial & industrial consumers in the uptake of renewable electricity in India. The reports detail the enabling environment that needs to be created to support corporates with their 100% targets.
