National Goals

The United States and India have a long history of collaboration in the energy sector. Collaboration takes many forms including financial and technical assistance, grants for feasibility studies, and joint research supported by governments and private sector in both countries. Participating in this endeavor are many U.S. federal government agencies as well as the U.S. private sector. This tracker aims to give a comprehensive view of the footprint of U.S. government supported and private sector-led investments in India’s energy sector. This map will be periodically updated and we invite private sector stakeholders to notify us of their ongoing projects so that we may highlight them.

In 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi set a goal of reaching 100 GW of solar power generation capacity by 2022. In order to achieve this ambitious target, state governments must increase their rate of solar capacity growth. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has assigned each state a solar capacity target. The Indian States Solar Energy Performance Tracker is a tool to monitor the progress states have made in reaching this target.

In 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi set a goal of reaching 60 GW of wind power generation capacity by 2022. In order to achieve this ambitious target, eight state governments were identified to increase their rate of wind capacity growth. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has assigned each of these eight states a wind capacity target. The Indian States Wind Energy Performance Tracker is a tool to monitor the progress states have made in reaching this target.
