How the exam will ask it
पूर्व
- The International Energy Agency is an autonomous intergovernmental organisation headquartered in Paris, established in 1974.
- The IEA projects India to be the second-largest market for renewable energy growth by 2031, as China's share of global capacity additions declines.
- Renewable capacity addition refers to new installed generation capacity (such as solar and wind) added in a given period, not electricity actually generated.
मुख्य
GS3 (Energy, Infrastructure): India's rising role in global renewable growth reflects policy push, falling costs and demand growth. Issues such as grid integration, storage, land, financing and manufacturing dependence need attention. The way forward lies in transmission upgrades, storage and domestic supply chains to convert capacity into reliable clean power.
