    Which of the following statement/s is/are correct regarding Renewable Energy Installed Capacity in India?

    1. AOnly 1
    2. BOnly 1 and 2
    3. COnly 2 and 3
    4. D1, 2 and 3
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: A

    Statement 1 is right: solar leads India's renewable capacity at over 150 GW, with wind a distant second at about 56 GW. Statement 2 is wrong because bio-energy is only around 12 GW, roughly 4% of the renewable mix, nowhere near 30%. Statement 3 is also wrong since India ranks about fifth, not top three, in installed hydropower capacity.
