India Needs Faster Transmission Buildout to Hit 500 GW Renewable Target by 2030

TOI - Delhi · india

India must accelerate transmission expansion and improve grid utilisation to achieve its 500 GW renewable energy goal by 2030, a Kearney report states. The country curtailed over 8 TWh of solar power between April and June 2026 due to grid congestion, highlighting a significant execution and utilisation gap. The report identifies fragmented planning, right-of-way delays, and supply chain constraints as key bottlenecks. Kearney recommends integrated long-term planning, pre-cleared corridors, and digital technologies to overcome these challenges and boost energy transition.
