India has drawn renewable-energy investment interest worth around US$400 billion during the Bharat Renewable Energy (BRE) Summit and Expo 2026, Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi said, with the proposals covering clean-energy generation, storage, transmission and manufacturing discussed at a chief executives' roundtable held alongside the summit in New Delhi.

Speaking at the press conference in New Delhi on Thursday, November 5 that marked the close of the four-day summit, Joshi said investment in renewables is expected to exceed the US$220 billion India needs to add the remaining 190 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.

Investments of about Rs 7 lakh crore, from domestic funds and foreign direct investment, have already come into renewables over the past two years, Joshi said. India's installed non-fossil capacity stands at about 310 GW against the 500 GW it targets for 2030.

The minister also sounded a note of caution: the government will assess the proposals and work out the details with individual investors, and the commitments may not translate entirely into actual investment — though even partial conversion could help India meet its estimated $220 billion requirement. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy is compiling the details, including the participating companies and the amounts proposed.

Planning beyond 500 GW

The government is also looking beyond the 2030 milestone: Joshi said preparations are under way for a strategy to add another 300 GW of non-fossil capacity, following directions from Prime Minister Narendra Modi, taking the ambition to about 800 GW by 2030-35.

The summit, inaugurated by Prime Minister Modi on November 2 at Bharat Mandapam, was the backdrop for a week of clean-energy announcements that Awaaz Punjab has been tracking, including the ministry's $220 billion investment estimate and India's non-fossil capacity crossing 300 GW.
