In order to promote sustainable development, which attempts to satisfy the demands of the present generation without jeopardizing the future, it has been recognized that the utilization of renewable energy sources is a critical component.

The need for energy is rising in India due to the country's strong economic growth, and additional energy sources are needed to meet this demand. The nation is faced with the difficulty of sustainable development at the same time because of the growing population and environmental degradation.

The use of renewable energy sources has been recognized as a key factor in promoting sustainable development, which aims to meet the needs of the present generation without compromising the future. Renewable energy technologies produce little to no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, making them a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels. Solar and wind power, in particular, have the potential to significantly reduce carbon emissions in the energy sector.The country has an estimated renewable energy potential of around 85,000MW from commercially exploitable sources, i.e., wind, 45,000 MW; small hydro, 15,000MW and biomass/bioenergy, 30,000 MW. In addition, India has the potential to generate 35MW per square kilometer using solar photovoltaic and solar thermal energy. Renewable energy sources such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass can significantly contribute to sustainable development. Renewable energy technologies can support rural development by providing access to energy to rural communities, which can help to improve quality of life, increase agricultural productivity and stimulate economic growth. Renewable energy technologies, such as solar, wind, and hydropower, can play a critical role in promoting sustainable development in India by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing energy security, and promoting rural electrification.
