  "account": "India has emerged as a global leader in clean energy, surpassing its 50 per cent target for non-fossil fuel sources in installed power capacity by the end of 2025. The International Renewable Energy Agency ranks India fourth globally in total installed renewable energy capacity. The country's energy transition strategy considers its development needs, including energy access, affordability, and security. Renewable energy expansion, energy efficiency, nuclear power, green hydrogen, carbon sinks, and carbon markets form the core of this strategy, aiming to support decarbonisation in sectors with limited direct electrification. Green hydrogen, which can replace fossil fuel-derived inputs in various industries, is a key component of India's green hydrogen strategy. India aims to produce five million metric tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030 under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. The mission has already allocated production capacity to 18 companies and awarded electrolyser manufacturing capacity to 15 firms. Green hydrogen hubs have been established at key ports in Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and Odisha. India's green hydrogen strategy focuses on connecting production with industrial applications, particularly in fertiliser, petroleum refining, and steel sectors. India also engages in international hydrogen platforms and partnerships, such as the EU-India Trade and Technology Council and the World Hydrogen Summit, positioning itself for future low-carbon global economy development.",
  "summary": "India has emerged as a global leader in advancing clean energy. By the end of December 2025, non-fossil fuel sources accounted for 51.93 per cent of India’s installed power capacity, surpassing the 50 per cent target set under the country’s second Nationally Determined Contribution. According to the International Renewable Energy Agency’s Renewable Energy Statistics 2025, India ranks fourth…",
