Crossing the 50% non-fossil capacity mark well before 2030 means that one of India’s key NDC targets has effectively been met early. This reflects rapid growth of solar, wind, hydro and nuclear installations alongside continuing demand growth. It strengthens India’s position in climate negotiations by showing that a large developing country can expand modern energy access while moving its power mix towards cleaner sources.
Option A:
This option is incorrect because continued growth of renewables is still needed to meet rising demand and to reduce dependence on fossil fuels in generation.
Option B:
This option correctly interprets the milestone as an early achievement of a Paris-related goal and as evidence of an accelerated energy transition.
Option C:
Coal still provides a substantial share of electricity generation even if its share in installed capacity is falling, so this statement is factually wrong.
Option D:
There is no legal ban on fossil fuels in all sectors; the transition is gradual and sector-specific.
