As India submitted its renewed climate pledge to United Nations last week, the country will miss its renewable energy target of generating 175 GW of green energy by end of 2022. The deadline has now been pushed by a few months with delays in achieving targets for both solar and wind power in the country.

India's updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement says that the country looks at deriving about 50% of electricity from non-fossil fuel-based energy resources by 2030 but will miss the first target set up for 2022 with a shortfall of over one-third of the capacity.
