Its a shame how conveniently news and other agency forget the Per Capita Greenhouse Gases Emissions. They will point out that India is 3rd largest producer of green house gasses but somehow they forget to mention India ranks 10th on per capita emissions which actually tells the real picture i.e an Indian by default is more concerned about the environment then the rest of the world. India is doing excellent in Environmental aspects and i am very much optimistic about the future. Edit : India ranks 100 something in Per Capita Energy Consumption. And this thing proves my point even more. They just conveniently forget that an average INDIAN consumes 12 times LESS ENERGY than An average AMERICAN.
No one disputes the fact that India has very low per capita emissions and I think that's pretty widely accepted and known. I'm honestly surprised to know India is only tenth, that's probably counting the EU as one but still I would've thought there are more places with higher per capita emissions. But overall I feel like this video cast India in a good light and was highlighting all the progress its making. Clearly developed countries should be doing more to help with loss and damage due to climate change they mostly caused, as well as providing climate finance to transition to clean energy
I appreciates the thoughts in this thread . 1) Yes , I am surprised India is 10th in rank. In my opinion it should be way behind in 50th rank or something like that vis a vis ‘Ggh/per person’. 2) India has power generation capacity of 400GW of which 160GW is renewable based 3) Developed World, if serious about saving the World environment must - a) Pay compensation to loss caused all over the word due to climate change b) They should incentivise developing world to switch to clean tech C) must do research to develop cheap storage batteries tech and allow this tech to spread all over world without IPR restrictions D) do research to develop nuclear fusion energy D) help develop a World Wide Web of power grid .
@@autistictutor we are backward people, we have dark skin,. So why are you guys imitating the hoi polloi ? My respects to intelligent Reeds of the World
Kudos to India. Gives me a hope for the future. I completely agree with the point where the effort should not come from government alone. Individuals that can afford installation of solar panel should do that. If we cannot give up our lifestyle, we at least can choose the generate electricity that fuel our lifestyle in sustainable way. I am a proud owner of solar panel at my rooftop.
It requires neither giving up our lifestyle nor generating enough energy to fuel said lifestyle; what we need is efficiency. Efficiency can reduce most people's demands by 80-90% while still giving the same services/comfort. Only then should we be thinking about renewables, which will be very easy to transition the remaining 10-20%.
Common people often lack the requisite initiative and enterprise, essential for such a venture. Cooperative housing societies would automatically be the slowest adopters of rooftop solar. In fact each district collector to be charged with minimum implementation and I crease annually, till solar reaches 100petcent of potential. Further each mo and mla be charged with s minimum 50percent solar rooftop adoption before permission for contesting the next elections, to set the ball rolling snd gather momentum. Where enterprise is shirt, the administration has to initiate!!!!!

Yes, but these figures are for a nation of just $3-4trillion GDP. But, as per IMF recent report India by 2027 will cross Germany and France to reach 3 Rd position after US and China. And by 2030, India's GDP will be $9Trillion or more and thus, what is 40% 50% now will only be 5% 10% in the future.
The report does not even mention the penetration of solar water heater systems in houses across India since 20+ years. Majority houses and appartments are already using sustainable rooftop solar water heater systems without even realising it. They have already saved money and reduced carbon footprints. People say HDI of a country is measured with one of the parameters being per capita electricity consumption, but what these indexes don't realise is the amount of off grind power generation present in India is huge.
Do u know the meaning of HDI, Purchasing parity per head, Expenditure capability on average, Income parity?? U spend more only when u earn more.. Then comes currency. As the value of currency drops, ur chances of affording things also decreases as the products international value won't decrease. 1 USD=80 INR. U need 900 USD to buy an iPhone 13 pro.... Had 1 USD been equal to 40 INR Ur country's power grid might be huge, but to power something that exceeds the basic requirements need a lot hell more power usage... Ur population mass on an average lies between middle to lower middle class.... Means the huge mass can't earn more, spend more plus devaluing of currency ads to the burden. Think from the Micro Perspective and then come to the Macro...

India had only planned 100GW Solar. Now it is targeting 300-500GW solar as Indian companies have acquired the technology to make Polysilicon, Ingots, wafers and panels themselves. Reliance industries have acquired REC Solar one of the best in the industry last year which is vertically integrated company. This in addition to Adani who is making their own panels starting next year means no dependency on China for anything solar.

India is 125th in Per capita carbon emissions with 1.5 tonnes. Just compare, Australia is 18, USA is 16, Qatar 40, S. Korea 12, Japan - Germany 10. Shouldn't these country people reduce carbon emissions instead of India. Why should we sacrifice our development because you filled environment with Carbon since industrialisation.
you are correct, but EVERYONE needs to get off fossil fuels We are in the situation we are in, placing blame does no good because it is a waste of mental and emotional energy and is simply a distraction away from solving the problem. That said, 'the west' needs to cough up money to help poorer countries transition and they/we need to go faster and get rid of greenwashing Going green will NOT 'sacrifice india's development' yes, there possibly maybe a temporary pause, but india will be better off for it There'll be better health outcomes without the air pollution and risks to health from coal mining just to start with. access to abundant energy = more time to pursue education and financial endeavours, to improve communities etc but it has to be done in a way that is moral and ethical to communities, such as the example in vid whereby farmer rants out land n gains an income for 25-ish years, or the doctor example in this vid I think india's and other fossil fuel companies have a duty of care to fund their worker's education into being able to transfer into other sectors with current windfall profits
Modi govt is doing a great job literally in everything....Great leader with greater vision and mind you India believes in growing with the world unlike other countries
Wonderful to see India, and most of the rest of the world, installing and adopting solar power so rapidly! Even though solar panels and inverters last 25-30 years, the racking and wiring lasts well over a hundred years and can easily have new panels installed for continued solar power.
with all challenges india is acheiving success ...no other country could have withstood the previous problems it faced....the hard work and intelligence of its people has made this possible
Cool but the fact is india is under lot of pressure cos of its energy needs and on basic level we need every house to convert to solar.developed countries don't get sunshine as long as india so it dosnt make sense in Europe to install evrywhere
It's a shame that the Cochin Airport wasn't mentioned when talking about Indian solar energy. It was the first airport in the world to fully run on renewable energy i.e. solar and they did at a time when there wasn't so much push from the Central govt or world at large although they had the support of the state govt of Kerala which had started giving subsidies for residential solar panels and hooking it up to the grid.
I remember this happened in 2016, less than 2 years of Modi government, the resentment against kochi model from center was even before 2014. Thank you for reminding about this important landmark project.

Out of 400 GW total capacity in 2022, 166 GW (or 41%) was from renewable energy. I hope by 2030 100% of our energy requirement estimated to be 800W will be from renewable sources. I am excited to setup a rooftop solar and save 15L rupees (20k$) in 25 years for my household energy consumption.
@@anandsuralkar2947 in my building, they installed dummy solar plants when commissioner came to give NOC, builder said that he had to bribe the commissioner, I don’t know if it’s true, but even if commissioner decides to not take bribe, the builder wouldn’t have spent on solar rooftop actual setup. We would have loved to have solar energy, but these corrupt builders don’t really care
Well. That was pretty comprehensive. It just missed one part, which is the usage of small scale solar irrigation and solar water pumps that are happening over last couple of years for the farmers and village people.
The said part is our media is busy communalising and polarising masses, the Singaporean media is covering our efforts towards climate change problem and our shifting towards renewable energy sources. Thanks guys for such a wonderful documentary.
A month or two ago I was chatting with my friends on roof top and ended up counting how many houses have solar panel on them. It ended up that every 3rd house visible from my roof had a solar panel set installed on their home. 😁
All the irrigation canals must have solar panels installed over them. Reduces the need for aquiring additional land and also reduces water evaporation to a limited extent.
@a Yes, both the efficiency and lifespan increase (both are linked, better efficiency means less strain on the internal parts which means lifespan increases).
The way property rights have been maintained with the people by leasing it from them, which keeps ownership with the people, is very admirable. Both parties are happy. This is democracy at work.
A friend in Trivandrum was able to afford a house, producing energy on his roof, gas in the garden. Costs of land is expensive. Energy autonomy for each individual is not always in the interest of leading class. There are examples in Europe. There is a small number of regions in Europe where house owners reach energy autonomy.
I disagree, indians wanted change so they voted for BJP. Notice that I'm emphasizing BJP than Modi ji because we need to bring BJP back to power in the decades after Modi ji.
As far as Renewables development is concerned , World should stand united. There can not be any IPR related restrictions on Renewable technologies. In fact UN must start tech research institution in this area and tech for solar, nuclear , wind must be circulated freely to all countries. There can not be monopolies in play as far as this subject is concerned. Thank you CNA for the inspiring video.

I have wooden comb manufacturing unit...running fully on Solar Energy....Yes India is changing...!!! In coming years it will be evident to whole world 😊
Thanks to the Farmers that are willing to lease their ancestral lands for these Solar farms, that make "speed to market" for Solar energy to debut significantly!! Well Done!
Ambani/Reliance energy is going to invest $80B in the next 10 years in the renewable sector. Adani energy is going to invest $100B in the next 10 years. A few other companies have also invested big in the renewal sector along with huge investment by the govt. It seems India will meet her target.Time will tell.
We won't meet our target on time, we will do it before time. We aimed for 40% of energy generation through renewable sources by 2025 which we achieved in 2021 itself
Could you raise the solar panels a bit more off the ground? If so, you should be able to grow shade tolerant crops in order to feed and circularly graze goats, chickens, and other livestock under the panels! If the health and the organic content of the SOIL underneath the solar farms could be enhanced by the solar farms, this could be a game-changing model for India. That way at the end of the Solar Panel lifespan, the farmer would have healthy and vibrant land at the end of lease cycle.
Ghironsingh Oh, you mean our crops & grass vying with Solar panels for "Sunlight". I am surprised why can't others didn't think of it! In fact solar energy is what makes our food to eat. If this competes with electricity generation, I can only say it is a foolish thought. India has 300 million hectares of land area. At he rate of Solar insolation 1361 Watt-seconds (Watt-second = Joule; but to elucidate the detail, I used it) per square meter, the total amount of Solar energy (if all of the 300 million hectares = 3 trillion square meters) is "4.0 quadrillion" (or 4,000,000,000,000,000) Watt-seconds. In fact, this would be possible if every place in India is on Equator (latitude, λ= 0º). But this needs to be modified to "4 Cosλ" quadrillion(=10 power 15) Watt-seconds where λ is the latitude of that place. Since India is spread over from λ = 8º4' to 36º25', we need to go through a mathematical "Integration" process. I am inclined to think that about 0.9 (=90%) is available to India (much less in "Siachen"). That means 3.6 quadrillion Watt-seconds at noon, zero during night & no rains. We aren't going to cover the whole of India (3,000,000,000,000 square meters area) with inter-connected Solar paneling. Our farmers (we feel they are idiots, they don't know that there are SHADE-TOLERANT crops) want their crops to get all sunlight with no shade of Solar panels. May be, we can cover a tenth (10%) that amounts to 300,000 square kilometers area, of Solar paneling. How much of this area (solar panels) do we manufacture & how much we import (from China & nowhere else as that is costlier) & at what expense (of importing it) in US$ (or equivalent foreign currency)? What game-changer you are talking? There ain't any such game-changers. It isn't a game; a serious matter. I suggest you read, Late Minoo Masani's "our India". He suggests that we are actually eating the Sun as our food !
@@MrPoornakumar I agree. We are. But without any organic content going back into the soil how do you expect it to remain healthy after 20 years? I am concerned about the productivity of the soil after the lease cycle because you are right. We are “consuming” the sunlight. And if that space is poor at converting the sunlight into food after the lease cycle then the farmer and the people of India have lost out. Solar is not the end solution to our energy needs, but it can be a stopgap measure to use while the nuclear technology improves. I would love to see a modern India powered by artificial suns in power generation stations. But in the meantime, I think that if solar could be a bridge that helps the soil as well, it would really help India move in the right direction.
@@MrPoornakumar Mr Ghironsingh is making a good point. It is you who is being an idiot to dismiss it as a "foolish" thought with your pseudo-scientific argument. Did you not see the plant weed growing underneath those panels ? .Only ignorance can produce such arrogance.. Reminds one of the old proverb about half-filled pots .. .
While US being the sole superpower in the world, decides to spend $200 Billion worth arms and war gear in Rus-Ukr conflict along with NATO, it clearly defines the western intention and policy focus.

Meanwhile India recognise the big environmental issues of collective humankind and mobilise all its resources to find ways to transition from fossil fuels to green tech. While, the west launch a mega campaign of pressuring eastern nations to condemn Russia, fir what? Just for values and democracy, I don't think so. It is not until some mega disaster strike mankind, will the developed west realise what they are up against. INDIA KNOWS AND HAVE ALWAYS KNOWN THAT PRECAUTION IS BETTER THAN CURE 🙏🇮🇳

When India asked help from West for setting up nuclear reactors for generating electricity no one helped. Now don't comment on coal usage and carbon emissions. West now understand where they failed. Still couldn't implement renewable energy anywhere in West. In India we have villages, airports, ferries working on only renewable energy. Giving subsidies for people who install solar at home.
We did receive help but our geopolitical compulsion to test nuclear bomb stopped further help. we were first to install nuclear power plant in asia . US stopped fuel for Tarapur nuclear plant after nuclear testing and our tilt towards soviet. however russia continued its help in building nuclear power plants in india. Now India is making nuclear power plant in bangladesh rooppur with russian partnership.
Yes we are carbon emitter because transitioning from developing to developed country. What we are emitting was already done by many other developed countries in past who are preaching, but we are responsibly handling the situation right when it is occurring and not afterwards.

The comparison would be fair only if India produced all the goods used domestically, but India has a negative economic balance and imports more goods than it exports. So emissions in other countries also go to Indian consumers.
Well thought-out plan to make land useful and income generating. Like many recent projects in India. There's a lot of experience now in workable financing models.
Innovative land aquisition program even on useless land. This annual income drives more interest. Drought is driving land destruction. Love to see some shareholding of the solar farms wealth. Higher profits equals better returns for locals plus perhaps some off peak solar power.
Most inspiring to know such details. I believe in renewable energy sector, especially Solar, we, India, have overcome teething issues and picked up a momentum that is difficult to stop. The crucial thrust from Government is powerful too.
Wonderful Documentary CNA. My heart fills with hope and positivity when i see so much being done by people having so little resources. Indeed it'll be challenging but then nothing significant was ever achieved without hardships.
India achieved something tbh.....It'll be the world's most populated country. Indians can be proud.....Especially Central Indian states. Let's breed like rats. My hewart filled hearing the news that we'll overtake China to become the world's most populated country with a literacy of only 75%. Not to mention India literacy ranking is based simply on a person's ability to read and write. That's about it. So in real terms our literacy is like 30-40% out of 1.4 billion to be useful.

Shri Narendra Modi Governments emphasis on increasing India's power generation using renewable energy is playing a major role in the overall development of India into a Global power.

One of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Brilliantly covered all important points and sharing some valuable comments. Climatic changes are now happening frequently and we should act in favour of sustainable development and reducing carbon emissions before it's too late.
Excellent documentary. Very commendable the efforts being made to decarbonise even as low income country needs to develop rapidly it's manufacturing sector that is energy intensive. One aspect that requires attention is the end of life recycling of the solar panels. Looks like it is posing serious problems where the recovery cost of reusable materials in the panels grossly exceeds their value. Second, solar water heating is a quick, easier application that needs to be promoted in large housing complexes and hotels to reduce power usage.
As an Indian, It's funny how foreign media portrays even a positive news as negative and mark the entire situation as "Dire" when it comes to India(With a serious background music). Last time I checked that's exactly how "Contract" jobs work in Singapore or any Western country. You do the work under contract, when contract is over, you find out other jobs. Then why show India in a derogatory manner, the entire document is marred by a clear agenda!
India is doing it but the amount of the load is increasing is massive but still efforts are really commendable from goverment and from the genral public.
"India the world's third biggest carbon emitter"? Okay, but India is the 114th in terms of CO2 emissions per capita (WB report 2019). So please don't try to label India as a polluter with such wordplay.

India has a much more interesting nuclear power program. They have had a roadmap to Thorium since the 60s. Building uranium reactors and continuing with Thorium is the better option than solar at current technology levels. The prospects for recycling solar panels is not good. All those valuable rear earth metals will be wasted.
Nuclear important because it can provide dispatchable baseload power. Renewables are useless when sun doesn't shine and wind doesn't blow. Storage technology for renewables is not at the point where this can be reliable baseload energy.

Today am glad that , it did made some sense to me when I commented on linked in reverting back on renewal solar power plats and highlighting all the wester regions and showing the success stories of them , and it made me realise that we being such region where it has all the necessary requirements and can be possibly implemented too in our own country which is india and glad we did . Thanks for sharing this video and highlighting the real world work in progress towards righteous path from 360 perspective or an approach take towards it 🙏. It also proved that not only at top level , middle level and now also at grass root level the awareness campaigns via youth can make a world of difference in long run and it is possible to make it a reality when each of us back home in india are consciously consuming the electricity 🙏🙏 . Proud to be Indian and way too move forward is contributing back to community as much as possible and doing it together where hand holding is indeed a way forward . Thanks yiu so much for escalating such videos as these are massive eye opener to all and not only that it actually opened some of my blocks too moving forward . Hats of to professor solanki and his model needs more support and wave of rapid transmit ion of this message across the youth of india asap in a manner that the key messages are delivered in appropriate actionable plan and needs to be rewarded those who implement so that test will start implanting it too 🙏🙏👍 . Am sharing this video first an most to my family members , Colleagues at work and lastly simply to bring in conscious way of living forward is simply making sure the usage of electricity consumption is done when needed and rest of the time it can saved during the hours of heavy consumption 🙏
I think WEF ( World Economic Forum ) needs to highlight such videos too , showing the challenging situation and yet overcoming it and make it happen . Am not saying by simply implementing this act of renewal energy we have done the job … nope not at all and now the actual work will start and challenges moving forward are also identified too . All am saying is why only western worlds are demonstrators of all the righteousness examples of certain testimonials on such and platforms . It starts with World and on the worlds map , countries from APAC regions were again chosen strategically few nations so far were taken while we as India as a country was never there at all or always shown as poor country , lots of challenges etc and barely saw any of it , that made me observe one thing was they only wanted top or top countries model who were a part of developed sorted out economies . But today also would love here to highlight that don’t forget India and Indians across are also contributing in those developed economies share of success . Not only that and leads it with nations wide a strong example in its revision too . , however we have hearts those more welcoming and offer the world a better place indeed . No matter we many have less and our less has now proving the world to be more of everything including the cultural behaviors ans transformation to adapt responding in a world class manner unlike developed nations . Thanks once again and we can make a world of difference not only to ourselves and others around us would be the part of measuring someone’s success , as really want this to be an eye opener to the rest of the word . Define the term Success to each individual at their level . Think about it ……. Living with the remark . Inclusiveness is what is needed 🙏 .
India’s main delay in this transition is installation in airports & dam-reservoirs where airports can be self-reliant in power consumption if executed well. For this, AAI must impose a norm to comply within next 1 or 2 years in my opinion.
We are absolutely commited to going green. I have invested in green stocks. We have to stop relying on God forsaken countries without human rights for oil and supplies.
Good for them! Like others, I hope that India starts building their own solar components in competition with China. People around the world would prefer to buy from them rather than China. Export would help cut cost for local consumption. Is agri-solar being investigated? With solar panels shading the land, are there crops that they can grow profitably under panels? Are they doing DC power for long distance transport of power? Are they doing wind power too?

India is only country that has surpassed it's green targets as setout for countries to lower carbon footprint.while China has reverted to coal . All across India u find education & projects to capture carbon be it more responsible farming methods to rivers being cleaned to zero emission & green hydrogen the steps have been taken & in next 5 years is expected to snowball.

Industries must come up in arid, desert land of India. Government must on this land setup Waste water Treatment (Pipe from Urban Places), treat this water & use it for Industries, Wearhouses. Also setup solar Harnessing setup, Plant sapling, Gernerate Biogas & Ethenol in this arid area, creat Industry in same place & Industrial housing complexes. This becomes real smart city instead of converting agriable farms to setup industry & smart cities. Make the arid, desert land a green agriable Industrial Biosphere
Congress government has done nothing in their time so India got very much behind in everything. Now modi government is trying their best to make India superpower.
Its a shame how conveniently news and other agency forget the Per Capita Greenhouse Gases Emissions. They will point out that India is 3rd largest producer of green house gasses but somehow they forget to mention India ranks 10th on per capita emissions which actually tells the real picture i.e an Indian by default is more concerned about the environment then the rest of the world. India is doing excellent in Environmental aspects and i am very much optimistic about the future.
Edit : India ranks 100 something in Per Capita Energy Consumption.
And this thing proves my point even more.
They just conveniently forget that an average INDIAN consumes 12 times LESS ENERGY than An average AMERICAN.
No one disputes the fact that India has very low per capita emissions and I think that's pretty widely accepted and known. I'm honestly surprised to know India is only tenth, that's probably counting the EU as one but still I would've thought there are more places with higher per capita emissions. But overall I feel like this video cast India in a good light and was highlighting all the progress its making. Clearly developed countries should be doing more to help with loss and damage due to climate change they mostly caused, as well as providing climate finance to transition to clean energy
10 th
where did you get the data
we are much lower in per capita
I appreciates the thoughts in this thread . 1) Yes , I am surprised India is 10th in rank. In my opinion it should be way behind in 50th rank or something like that vis a vis ‘Ggh/per person’.
2) India has power generation capacity of 400GW of which 160GW is renewable based 3) Developed World, if serious about saving the World environment must - a) Pay compensation to loss caused all over the word due to climate change b) They should incentivise developing world to switch to clean tech C) must do research to develop cheap storage batteries tech and allow this tech to spread all over world without IPR restrictions D) do research to develop nuclear fusion energy D) help develop a World Wide Web of power grid .
Just like Indians always forget their per capita income while shouting that they are 5th largest economy in terms of gdp.
@@autistictutor we are backward people, we have dark skin,. So why are you guys imitating the hoi polloi ? My respects to intelligent Reeds of the World
Kudos to India. Gives me a hope for the future. I completely agree with the point where the effort should not come from government alone. Individuals that can afford installation of solar panel should do that. If we cannot give up our lifestyle, we at least can choose the generate electricity that fuel our lifestyle in sustainable way. I am a proud owner of solar panel at my rooftop.
People of india are already doing it at a mass scale.
We have solar water heater. That's bliss.
It requires neither giving up our lifestyle nor generating enough energy to fuel said lifestyle; what we need is efficiency. Efficiency can reduce most people's demands by 80-90% while still giving the same services/comfort. Only then should we be thinking about renewables, which will be very easy to transition the remaining 10-20%.
Common people often lack the requisite initiative and enterprise, essential for such a venture.
Cooperative housing societies would automatically be the slowest adopters of rooftop solar.
In fact each district collector to be charged with minimum implementation and I crease annually, till solar reaches 100petcent of potential.
Further each mo and mla be charged with s minimum 50percent solar rooftop adoption before permission for contesting the next elections, to set the ball rolling snd gather momentum. Where enterprise is shirt, the administration has to initiate!!!!!
To my view, rhe entire nation and the whole world is I frbyed to you!!!!!

Yes, but these figures are for a nation of just $3-4trillion GDP. But, as per IMF recent report India by 2027 will cross Germany and France to reach 3 Rd position after US and China. And by 2030, India's GDP will be $9Trillion or more and thus, what is 40% 50% now will only be 5% 10% in the future.
The report does not even mention the penetration of solar water heater systems in houses across India since 20+ years. Majority houses and appartments are already using sustainable rooftop solar water heater systems without even realising it. They have already saved money and reduced carbon footprints.
People say HDI of a country is measured with one of the parameters being per capita electricity consumption, but what these indexes don't realise is the amount of off grind power generation present in India is huge.
HDI is a SCAM. If you are energy efficient like us Indians, you will rank low on HDI. It is disgusting how Western institutions are such evil scum.
Not majority houses. Not more than 20% house use solar heater
We had a solar water heater installed in our bungalow in mid 1990s.
Do u know the meaning of HDI, Purchasing parity per head, Expenditure capability on average, Income parity?? U spend more only when u earn more..
Then comes currency. As the value of currency drops, ur chances of affording things also decreases as the products international value won't decrease.
1 USD=80 INR. U need 900 USD to buy an iPhone 13 pro.... Had 1 USD been equal to 40 INR
Ur country's power grid might be huge, but to power something that exceeds the basic requirements need a lot hell more power usage...
Ur population mass on an average lies between middle to lower middle class.... Means the huge mass can't earn more, spend more plus devaluing of currency ads to the burden.
Think from the Micro Perspective and then come to the Macro...

India had only planned 100GW Solar. Now it is targeting 300-500GW solar as Indian companies have acquired the technology to make Polysilicon, Ingots, wafers and panels themselves. Reliance industries have acquired REC Solar one of the best in the industry last year which is vertically integrated company. This in addition to Adani who is making their own panels starting next year means no dependency on China for anything solar.
India is already working towards green hydrogen and uses composite fuel( ethanol laced with petrol) …..
@@Peddayana Not to mention Sodium Ion batteries from Reliance.
It will take 10 years to be truly independent of Chinese solar panels.
@@alchemist7412 It will happen sooner since Reliance foray into the industry with a spate of acquisitions.
@@Peddayana ethanol leaches the zinc out of aluminium castings leaving them porous & brittle. Once engine manufacturers have bypassed this problem it will become a viable fuel.
Then there is the problem of sourcing sufficient feedstock without impacting human food. Another problem is that it has an invisible flame in many situations. It's evaporation rate can be problematic too.
Way to go India, Way to go! I hope that India can keep on track to meet its renewable energy goals.
I love that every place in India has a different language. Unity in diversity indeed.

India is 125th in Per capita carbon emissions with 1.5 tonnes.
Just compare, Australia is 18, USA is 16, Qatar 40, S. Korea 12, Japan - Germany 10.
Shouldn't these country people reduce carbon emissions instead of India.
Why should we sacrifice our development because you filled environment with Carbon since industrialisation.
Climate justice.
they will not - it will negatively affect their economies.
you are correct, but EVERYONE needs to get off fossil fuels
We are in the situation we are in, placing blame does no good because it is a waste of mental and emotional energy and is simply a distraction away from solving the problem. That said, 'the west' needs to cough up money to help poorer countries transition and they/we need to go faster and get rid of greenwashing
Going green will NOT 'sacrifice india's development' yes, there possibly maybe a temporary pause, but india will be better off for it
There'll be better health outcomes without the air pollution and risks to health from coal mining just to start with. access to abundant energy = more time to pursue education and financial endeavours, to improve communities etc but it has to be done in a way that is moral and ethical to communities, such as the example in vid whereby farmer rants out land n gains an income for 25-ish years, or the doctor example in this vid
I think india's and other fossil fuel companies have a duty of care to fund their worker's education into being able to transfer into other sectors with current windfall profits
Don't worry, as long as India is a democracy, India will remain great and continue be praised by the West. . Don't do like China.
because climate is a global thing, tomorrow india will also be affected by global warming

Wonderful to see India, and most of the rest of the world, installing and adopting solar power so rapidly! Even though solar panels and inverters last 25-30 years, the racking and wiring lasts well over a hundred years and can easily have new panels installed for continued solar power.
We are also working on other alternative energy resources as solar plants are not feasible for every part of India.....
with all challenges india is acheiving success ...no other country could have withstood the previous problems it faced....the hard work and intelligence of its people has made this possible
India is doing great in renewable than any other developed countries compared to its per capita income
Cool but the fact is india is under lot of pressure cos of its energy needs and on basic level we need every house to convert to solar.developed countries don't get sunshine as long as india so it dosnt make sense in Europe to install evrywhere
It's a shame that the Cochin Airport wasn't mentioned when talking about Indian solar energy. It was the first airport in the world to fully run on renewable energy i.e. solar and they did at a time when there wasn't so much push from the Central govt or world at large although they had the support of the state govt of Kerala which had started giving subsidies for residential solar panels and hooking it up to the grid.
I remember this happened in 2016, less than 2 years of Modi government, the resentment against kochi model from center was even before 2014. Thank you for reminding about this important landmark project.

@a Yes, both the efficiency and lifespan increase (both are linked, better efficiency means less strain on the internal parts which means lifespan increases).
The way property rights have been maintained with the people by leasing it from them, which keeps ownership with the people, is very admirable. Both parties are happy. This is democracy at work.
A friend in Trivandrum was able to afford a house, producing energy on his roof, gas in the garden. Costs of land is expensive. Energy autonomy for each individual is not always in the interest of leading class. There are examples in Europe. There is a small number of regions in Europe where house owners reach energy autonomy.

Could you raise the solar panels a bit more off the ground? If so, you should be able to grow shade tolerant crops in order to feed and circularly graze goats, chickens, and other livestock under the panels! If the health and the organic content of the SOIL underneath the solar farms could be enhanced by the solar farms, this could be a game-changing model for India. That way at the end of the Solar Panel lifespan, the farmer would have healthy and vibrant land at the end of lease cycle.
Ghironsingh
Oh, you mean our crops & grass vying with Solar panels for "Sunlight". I am surprised why can't others didn't think of it! In fact solar energy is what makes our food to eat. If this competes with electricity generation, I can only say it is a foolish thought.
India has 300 million hectares of land area. At he rate of Solar insolation 1361 Watt-seconds (Watt-second = Joule; but to elucidate the detail, I used it) per square meter, the total amount of Solar energy (if all of the 300 million hectares = 3 trillion square meters) is "4.0 quadrillion" (or 4,000,000,000,000,000) Watt-seconds.
In fact, this would be possible if every place in India is on Equator (latitude, λ= 0º). But this needs to be modified to "4 Cosλ" quadrillion(=10 power 15) Watt-seconds where λ is the latitude of that place. Since India is spread over from λ = 8º4' to 36º25', we need to go through a mathematical "Integration" process. I am inclined to think that about 0.9 (=90%) is available to India (much less in "Siachen"). That means 3.6 quadrillion Watt-seconds at noon, zero during night & no rains.
We aren't going to cover the whole of India (3,000,000,000,000 square meters area) with inter-connected Solar paneling. Our farmers (we feel they are idiots, they don't know that there are SHADE-TOLERANT crops) want their crops to get all sunlight with no shade of Solar panels. May be, we can cover a tenth (10%) that amounts to 300,000 square kilometers area, of Solar paneling. How much of this area (solar panels) do we manufacture & how much we import (from China & nowhere else as that is costlier) & at what expense (of importing it) in US$ (or equivalent foreign currency)?
What game-changer you are talking? There ain't any such game-changers. It isn't a game; a serious matter. I suggest you read, Late Minoo Masani's "our India". He suggests that we are actually eating the Sun as our food !
@@MrPoornakumar I agree. We are. But without any organic content going back into the soil how do you expect it to remain healthy after 20 years? I am concerned about the productivity of the soil after the lease cycle because you are right. We are “consuming” the sunlight. And if that space is poor at converting the sunlight into food after the lease cycle then the farmer and the people of India have lost out. Solar is not the end solution to our energy needs, but it can be a stopgap measure to use while the nuclear technology improves. I would love to see a modern India powered by artificial suns in power generation stations. But in the meantime, I think that if solar could be a bridge that helps the soil as well, it would really help India move in the right direction.

Still couldn't implement renewable energy anywhere in West. In India we have villages, airports, ferries working on only renewable energy. Giving subsidies for people who install solar at home.
We did receive help but our geopolitical compulsion to test nuclear bomb stopped further help. we were first to install nuclear power plant in asia .

Innovative land aquisition program even on useless land. This annual income drives more interest. Drought is driving land destruction. Love to see some shareholding of the solar farms wealth. Higher profits equals better returns for locals plus perhaps some off peak solar power.
Most inspiring to know such details. I believe in renewable energy sector, especially Solar, we, India, have overcome teething issues and picked up a momentum that is difficult to stop. The crucial thrust from Government is powerful too.
I hope all Green projects are successful. Our planet need the successes.
Great work Prof. Chetan Solanki...Commendable 👌🏼
Wonderful Documentary CNA. My heart fills with hope and positivity when i see so much being done by people having so little resources. Indeed it'll be challenging but then nothing significant was ever achieved without hardships.
India achieved something tbh.....It'll be the world's most populated country. Indians can be proud.....Especially Central Indian states. Let's breed like rats. My hewart filled hearing the news that we'll overtake China to become the world's most populated country with a literacy of only 75%.
Not to mention India literacy ranking is based simply on a person's ability to read and write. That's about it. So in real terms our literacy is like 30-40% out of 1.4 billion to be useful. Proud of my country!!!

It is all about the network - sunrise and sunset at different times east/west. Katabatic winds and hydro potential in the northern Himalayas and winds at the coasts. So there needs to be a network of ultra high voltage power lines.
This is truly remarkable.renewable energy with solar/wind also creates infrastructure and development of rural areas.
Yes, India has 7 out of 10 most populated cities in the world and if they do not do something, they will be plagued by lung cancer forever more. Good to see that India is forging ahead and please keep up the effort my Indian friends. Thank you for your effort thus far.
The solar panels should be elevated so that the area below can be used for agricultural/Commercial purposes like animal husbandry or fodder cultivation. Moreover water harvesting must be made compulsory for solar projects
You have to clean solar panels periodically for dust...
The frames for that is a lot more expensive
it is actually a working methodology called Agrivoltaics, its being implemented in USA and Europe, and India will implement it in the future as well.
Crops require sunlight
Can't be grown in shade
Doesn't plants need sun light to survive ? Do you think they will grow in the shadow of solar panels ?
Excellent documentary. Kudos CNA. All the best India
You're not Indian?

Props to India for doing in ten years what took the West fifty years, even with India having less resources
Shri Narendra Modi Governments emphasis on increasing India's power generation using renewable energy is playing a major role in the overall development of India into a Global power.
1. Agrivoltics
2. Floating solar panels
3. Roof-top solar
4. Off-shore wind generation
5. Transperent solar panels (buildings powered by solar)
6. Using technology to reduce energy consumption.
7. Increasing the production of solar cells, wafers and panels in India.
India should be focusing on developing it's thorium reactors.
One of the best documentaries I have ever seen. Brilliantly covered all important points and sharing some valuable comments. Climatic changes are now happening frequently and we should act in favour of sustainable development and reducing carbon emissions before it's too late.
When so called Third World countries are moving towards green clean energy, Europe is digging into earth for coal.🤣🤣🤣
Wow! Congrats to India on it's Great Progress! I hope they reach their goals in 2030 and 2070!!
Excellent documentary. Very commendable the efforts being made to decarbonise even as low income country needs to develop rapidly it's manufacturing sector that is energy intensive. One aspect that requires attention is the end of life recycling of the solar panels. Looks like it is posing serious problems where the recovery cost of reusable materials in the panels grossly exceeds their value. Second, solar water heating is a quick, easier application that needs to be promoted in large housing complexes and hotels to reduce power usage.
As an Indian, It's funny how foreign media portrays even a positive news as negative and mark the entire situation as "Dire" when it comes to India(With a serious background music). Last time I checked that's exactly how "Contract" jobs work in Singapore or any Western country. You do the work under contract, when contract is over, you find out other jobs. Then why show India in a derogatory manner, the entire document is marred by a clear agenda!
India is doing it but the amount of the load is increasing is massive but still efforts are really commendable from goverment and from the genral public.
"India the world's third biggest carbon emitter"? Okay, but India is the 114th in terms of CO2 emissions per capita (WB report 2019). So please don't try to label India as a polluter with such wordplay.
There should be hybrid solar park (solar + wind) to utilize land better also Energy storage(sodium ion battery) will be great combination
In India wind farm are not suitable except for Tamil nadu and Gujrat. Rest of the other states have unstable wind.
wind energy is not suitable everywhere
@@vikramssctelugu6148 i am not saying everywhere. Saying wherever possible. But having sodium ion based energy storage is nessesory to store extra energy and mitigate peak power.
@@prasadsawant12 yes .. they are developing hybrid 20gw project in gujarat kutchch district
@vikramssctelugu6148 30 gw
Jai Hind!❤️
If they have the manufacturing plants for the panels, the inverters and the Electric Batteries all can be achieved. Because the repair, maintenance and upgrade all made in India...easy to fix and update.
India has a much more interesting nuclear power program. They have had a roadmap to Thorium since the 60s. Building uranium reactors and continuing with Thorium is the better option than solar at current technology levels. The prospects for recycling solar panels is not good. All those valuable rear earth metals will be wasted.
Nuclear important because it can provide dispatchable baseload power. Renewables are useless when sun doesn't shine and wind doesn't blow. Storage technology for renewables is not at the point where this can be reliable baseload energy.
Exactly, Nuclear is only clear Energy Source
India will do in 5 years what the entire world will take 10yrs to do. Mark my words.
that won't be difficult to do, they're already 50 yrs behind, lol, but WESTERN technology will help them.
India already has achieved the targets which were meant for 2030 and now they have made a new targets for 2030. other countries on the other hand are even suffering to achieve what they had promised.
@@chrisblue46 Technology made using INDIAN mathematics? Two can play this game.
@@chrisblue46 Indian math made those technologies. Indians make those technologies in the west.
@@chrisblue46 Western power should help the developing and underdeveloped nations because those nations suffered tremendously during the colonization era.
This program is 100 percent worth watching
What you are not telling is India already produces 38 to 40 % of its energy demand by renewable energy sources 🤨🤨🤨

India Shining and Rising🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
We Indians don't need a certificate by the West,we know what is good for us . We are better in handling situation ex is COVID. Fix your problems first den talk about others. I'm a proud INDIAN 🇮🇳❤️
Today am glad that , it did made some sense to me when I commented on linked in reverting back on renewal solar power plats and highlighting all the wester regions and showing the success stories of them , and it made me realise that we being such region where it has all the necessary requirements and can be possibly implemented too in our own country which is india and glad we did . Thanks for sharing this video and highlighting the real world work in progress towards righteous path from 360 perspective or an approach take towards it 🙏. It also proved that not only at top level , middle level and now also at grass root level the awareness campaigns via youth can make a world of difference in long run and it is possible to make it a reality when each of us back home in india are consciously consuming the electricity 🙏🙏 . Proud to be Indian and way too move forward is contributing back to community as much as possible and doing it together where hand holding is indeed a way forward . Thanks yiu so much for escalating such videos as these are massive eye opener to all and not only that it actually opened some of my blocks too moving forward . Hats of to professor solanki and his model needs more support and wave of rapid transmit ion of this message across the youth of india asap in a manner that the key messages are delivered in appropriate actionable plan and needs to be rewarded those who implement so that test will start implanting it too 🙏🙏👍 . Am sharing this video first an most to my family members , Colleagues at work and lastly simply to bring in conscious way of living forward is simply making sure the usage of electricity consumption is done when needed and rest of the time it can saved during the hours of heavy consumption 🙏
I think WEF ( World Economic Forum ) needs to highlight such videos too , showing the challenging situation and yet overcoming it and make it happen . Am not saying by simply implementing this act of renewal energy we have done the job … nope not at all and now the actual work will start and challenges moving forward are also identified too . All am saying is why only western worlds are demonstrators of all the righteousness examples of certain testimonials on such and platforms . It starts with World and on the worlds map , countries from APAC regions were again chosen strategically few nations so far were taken while we as India as a country was never there at all or always shown as poor country , lots of challenges etc and barely saw any of it , that made me observe one thing was they only wanted top or top countries model who were a part of developed sorted out economies . But today also would love here to highlight that don’t forget India and Indians across are also contributing in those developed economies share of success . Not only that and leads it with nations wide a strong example in its revision too . , however we have hearts those more welcoming and offer the world a better place indeed . No matter we many have less and our less has now proving the world to be more of everything including the cultural behaviors ans transformation to adapt responding in a world class manner unlike developed nations . Thanks once again and we can make a world of difference not only to ourselves and others around us would be the part of measuring someone’s success , as really want this to be an eye opener to the rest of the word . Define the term Success to each individual at their level . Think about it ……. Living with the remark .
Inclusiveness is what is needed 🙏 .
India’s main delay in this transition is installation in airports & dam-reservoirs where airports can be self-reliant in power consumption if executed well.
For this, AAI must impose a norm to comply within next 1 or 2 years in my opinion.
India is also investing big in nuclear , perhaps CNA can make an episode for that too ? 😊
It is your Hipocratic view
China too investing big in biological thing
SUPER POWERFUL INCREDIBLE GREAT INDIA..JAI HIND..JAI HO🚩🇮🇳🇮🇳👑🐅💪⚔🚩🇮🇳🇮🇳🙏🙏

We are absolutely commited to going green. I have invested in green stocks. We have to stop relying on God forsaken countries without human rights for oil and supplies.
says a country which raze down homes of Muslims and lynch them in the name of beef
Good for them!
Like others, I hope that India starts building their own solar components in competition with China. People around the world would prefer to buy from them rather than China. Export would help cut cost for local consumption.
Is agri-solar being investigated? With solar panels shading the land, are there crops that they can grow profitably under panels?
Are they doing DC power for long distance transport of power?
Are they doing wind power too?
First time seeing CNA praising india lol.
Well the world's first solar powered airport is from india 😌
Thanks CNA. A well-researched & well-balanced pieace of journalism from your team. India gets a lot of bad press from the Western Media, but CNA is emerging as voice of Asia that is fair and calling spade a spade. Topics that CNA Insider picks to tell stories from across the region are very relevant for the region and reflects the mood of not only the political & business stakeholders but also in social circles. More strength to CNA !!
This is unfortunate when something positive comes views are very less but when they bring some controversial series then views will be skyrocketed
This positive move always enkindles light of hope in the heart of every human being.
not only by solar power but also by green hydrogen, ethanol and 82% electrification of 53k km railways we are determined to reduce our carbon footprint and aims for the better future of earth and Mother India
what about littering?
@@JitzyJT in last 5 years sanitization is being pushed heavily and more than 95% of the population have proper sanitization
Not a single solar cell is made in India. China supply solar cells and then Indian manufactures make solar panels.
In hope in the future they will build a solar powdered desalination plant. Hearing that man talk about water is so heart breaking
That problem is pretty common in the Deccan traps. Better to just pump in water from the water rich regions elsewhere.

India is only country that has surpassed it's green targets as setout for countries to lower carbon footprint.while China has reverted to coal . All across India u find education & projects to capture carbon be it more responsible farming methods to rivers being cleaned to zero emission & green hydrogen the steps have been taken & in next 5 years is expected to snowball.
I think there should be more forest areas and greenery on the planet to cool it down a bit, along with renewable sources of energy.

Industries must come up in arid, desert land of India. Government must on this land setup Waste water Treatment (Pipe from Urban Places), treat this water & use it for Industries, Wearhouses. Also setup solar Harnessing setup, Plant sapling, Gernerate Biogas & Ethenol in this arid area, creat Industry in same place & Industrial housing complexes. This becomes real smart city instead of converting agriable farms to setup industry & smart cities. Make the arid, desert land a green agriable Industrial Biosphere
Congress government has done nothing in their time so India got very much behind in everything. Now modi government is trying their best to make India superpower.
