From the Editor's Desk Under the Paris Agreement, India has set an ambitious target for clean energy generation through solar power. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has committed to increasing the amount of electric power from clean sources to 40 per cent by 2030. From this, the targeted energy generation from all renewable sources is 175 GW by 2022. As of September 2017, solar power capacity of India is 14.7 GW, accounting for nearly 40 per cent of the energy generation from clean sources.
