ಮೇನ್ಸ್
GS-III (Energy and Environment): Record wind additions of 6.05 GW keep India on course for the 100 GW by 2030 goal, but renewable growth depends on transmission, so programmes like Green Energy Corridor Phase III for evacuation are central. Green fuels and port hubs such as Kandla link the energy transition to the net zero 2070 commitment. The way forward lies in grid integration, storage, land and offshore wind, and sustained investment.
