Experts predict a revival even though India's clean energy development has slowed.

India has been gradually increasing its renewable energy projects for a number of years. These range from modest rooftop solar installations in tiny towns to expansive projects across the desert and extensive lines of wind turbines and solar panels on farmland, all of which support the nation's climate objective of switching to clean energy. In 2023, the government failed to meet its yearly clean energy installation target due to a combination of supply chain challenges, politics, and policy decisions that caused delays and uncertainty in solar projects. The year also saw disastrous floods and the breaking of heat records. Although some experts believe that this will significantly impede the nation's aspirations, others are optimistic that this year will see the deficit filled.

The COVID-19 epidemic did cause a significant decline in installations in India in 2020, but overall, the country observed an increase in the number of new projects every year. Yet according to data from the Global Energy Monitor, during those 15 years, the nation added far more coal capacity than solar and wind power combined.
