04 Oct 2023 Zinkpot 153
  1. In its efforts to achieve the $ 5 trillion economy goal by 2024-25 and become the third-largest economy by 2030, India has been putting a renewed focus on reducing the country’s overall carbon footprint and meeting its Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) commitments made during the Paris agreement. 
  2. For this, the government has set an ambitious target of having 500 GW of installed renewable energy by 2030, which includes the installation of 280 GW of solar power and 140 GW of wind power.
  3. For the transition towards clean energy, the government has been adopting several measures and introducing favorable policies to promote the domestic manufacturing of renewable energy. 
  4. In line with this, the government, this year, introduced a Rs 2.44 lakh crore transmission plan – a move which can be considered one of the biggest steps towards India’s target to produce 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based energy by 2030.
  5. Moreover, the government has also identified upcoming non-fossil fuel-based generation centers from across the country, which includes Fatehgarh, Bhadla, Bikaner in Rajasthan, Khavda in Gujarat, Anantapur, Kurnool RE Zones in Andhra Pradesh, offshore wind potentials in Tamil Nadu and Gujarat, RE park in Ladakh among others.
  6. With India transitioning towards greener and cleaner energy, the Indian Green Energy stocks gain momentum. These stocks represent entities that harness and generate power from environmentally sustainable sources such as solar, wind, hydro, etc.
  7. Some of the best stocks that will be affected by this transition are:
    • Indian Energy Exchange (IEX): It is one of the nodal power exchanges in the country which accounts for 95% of the short-term electricity contracts traded over exchanges in India. The company has extensively included renewable energy in its portfolio by introducing green energy trading and issuing renewable energy certificates to renewable energy providers.
    • Tata Power: The company is primarily engaged in the business of power generation transmission and distribution through conventional and renewable sources. It aims to double the total capacity of 13.5 gigawatts in 2022 to over 30 GW by 2027. This expansion will boost its renewable energy portfolio from 34% to 60% by 2027 and 80% by 2030.
    • Olectra Greentech: The company is the largest pure electric bus manufacturing company. It is a pioneer in electric bus manufacturing and has a leading market share of around 35%. It has collaborated with reliance industries to develop hydrogen buses that are fully carbon-free and will act as a prime alternative to traditional buses in public transportation.
    • Adani Green Energy Limited: It is a subsidiary of the Adani Group, holding a central position in India’s renewable energy landscape. The company is a key contributor to the growth of solar and wind projects aligning with the nation’s ambitious renewable energy targets.
    • Reliance Industries: It is another diversified conglomerate that is expanding its footprint in green energy with a focus on tech, innovation, and sustainable practices.
    • Borosil Renewables: The company is the first and the only manufacturer of solar glass in India. The glass it manufactures is used in photovoltaic panels. Currently, it has more than 40% market sharing domestic market and exports its products to USA, Turkey, and Europe.
