<h1>India's 2030 Renewable Energy Target at Risk Due to High Costs, Project Delays, Says Ember Report</h1> India risks missing its 2030 target of 500 GW renewable energy capacity due to high capital costs and project delays, according to a report by Ember. The report highlights that annual funding must increase by 20% to meet this goal, with a cumulative investment of USD 300 billion needed. Delays stem from land acquisition, grid connectivity, and power purchase agreements. A 400 basis points rise in financing costs could reduce the target by 100 GW, increasing electricity costs for consumers. The NEP-14 plan aims for 596 GW by 2032, requiring significant investments in solar, wind, and storage technologies.
