Correct option is B
The correct answer is (b) 125 GW
Explanation:
• Rajasthan’s Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024 sets a target of 125 GW renewable energy capacity by 2030.
• The target is officially broken into 90 GW solar, 25 GW wind/hybrid, and 10 GW hydro + PSP + BESS capacities.
• The policy aims to utilise Rajasthan’s vast solar potential while expanding wind corridor development.
• It supports the state’s ambition to remain India’s top renewable energy hub.
• This aligns Rajasthan with India’s national goal of 500 GW non-fossil capacity by 2030.
Information Booster:
• Rajasthan currently leads India in installed solar capacity and has some of the best solar irradiance levels in the world.
• The policy also promotes green hydrogen development, energy storage technologies, and private sector participation.
Additional Knowledge:
100 GW (Option a)
• Below the officially declared target.
• Not mentioned under the Integrated Clean Energy Policy 2024.
250 GW (Option c)
• Highly ambitious but not the target set by Rajasthan; no official policy document supports this figure.
500 GW (Option d)
• Represents India’s national-level non-fossil target, not Rajasthan’s state-level goal.
