Under PM Modi’s leadership, India has made unprecedented progress in the energy sector and established itself as a global hub for clean energy technologies. The nation has set a target of achieving net zero by 2070 and 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030. India has already surpassed 251.5 GW of non-fossil capacity and achieved a historic milestone of 100 GW in solar module manufacturing capacity.

Madhya Pradesh: Among India’s Leading States in Energy

CM Dr. Yadav said that through initiatives such as the Green Hydrogen Mission, PM-KUSUM Yojana, PM Surya Ghar Free Electricity Scheme, and Smart Grid programs, India has steered the energy sector towards self-reliance, sustainability, and cleanliness, providing millions of households with free electricity.

Madhya Pradesh, with its unique initiatives, has become one of the leading states in the country’s energy sector. The state is home to India’s largest solar park in Rewa, which supplies power to the Delhi Metro. Sanchi has been developed as India’s first Solar City, while Omkareshwar hosts the country’s largest floating solar project. In Neemuch, India’s largest Pump Hydro Power Storage Project has been established, making Madhya Pradesh a front-runner in energy storage capacity.
