Which of the following statement/s is/are correct regarding Renewable Energy Installed Capacity in India?
- Wind energy is second only to solar energy in the Indian renewable sector.
- Biomass power capacity accounts for around 30% of India's total renewable energy.
- India ranks among the top three countries in the world in Hydropower Installed Capacity.
Choose the correct option from the following.
Correct answer: A
Explanation
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.
