Indian Progress in the Renewable Technologies: A Review on Present Status, Policies, and Barriers
Abstract
The world’s energy demand is growing and conventional sources are diminishing. Sustainable/renewable energy sources are gaining possibilities to come up with solutions to the long standing energy problems, environmental crisis, economic development and quality of life. By adopting renewable technologies in developing countries like India, effective steps are being taken towards clean mechanism and fortifying more sustainable future. From the past three decades there has been a strenuous pursuit to development, demonstration, application, production and research of renewable/sustainable technologies for use in distinct sectors. In this paper, availability, current status in market, policies, and different constraints of renewable technologies in India has been summarized.
