A Study of Traditional and Non-Traditional Energy Sources for Future Milestone

Exploring India's Renewable Energy Programs

Abstract

India has a vast supply of renewable energy resources, and it has one of the largest programs in the world for deploying renewable energy products and systems. Indeed, it is the only country in the world to have an exclusive ministry for renewable energy development, the ministry of non-conventional energy sources (MNES). Since its formation, the ministry has launched one of the world’s largest and most ambitious programs on renewable energy. Based on various promotional efforts put in place by MNES, significant progress is being made in power generation from renewable energy sources. In October, MNES was renamed the ministry of new and renewable energy.
