Prime Minister Modi said that India fulfilled its pledge made in Paris regarding meeting 50 percent of its installed electricity generation capacity from non-fossil fuel sources five years before schedule. In addition, the country will install 500 gigawatts of new non-fossil fuel capacities over the next ten years, he explained.
