India’s peak electricity demand by 2034- 35 is expected to reach 446 GW. Meeting this demand requires a sustainable approach and coordination between the state government and the Centre.
According to the power minister (Khattar), India’s renewable energy share in total installed capacity has increased from 32% in 2014 to 49% in April 2025. Among the line of top five states of India in renewable energy development now, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh are taking a keen interest in developing nonrenewable energy.
Haryana:
In Haryana, the Ministry of Power has proposed to launch a pilot project to install solar houses across the state. The Union energy minister said that if projects become successful, then they will be expanded to other states as well. In a regional power conference held at Chandigarh, state energy minister Anil Vij said that, for higher capacity needs of state solar houses, a more feasible option comprehensive solar project is needed.
Solar house project: In a solar house system (SHS), with the help of solar energy, Solar panels generate electricity, which can be used for domestic needs. The system can be on-grid and off-grid.
Indore, (Madhya Pradesh):
In Indore, the Municipal Corporation, with regional Discoms, is taking initiative to install rooftop solar systems at houses in 22 colonies across the city.
According to the mayor’s guidelines, one colony will be selected from 22 municipal zones. And every house will be provided with solar panels to promote renewable energy.
The initiatives are to support power supply, preparedness ahead of monsoon, and electricity cuts during high demand.
With the Indore Municipal Corporation initiative, the commitment to developing renewable energy in India is not just at the Central level, but the government is working at the grassroots level as well.
India, as per the Paris agreement, has declared its nationally determined commitments (NDC) according to which India aims to achieve its net-zero emission target by 2070 and 50% of its energy supply from nonrenewable sources by 2030. Therefore, governments at all levels are working towards nonrenewable energy infrastructure development in the country.
