“…Countering these upward pressures on CO 2 emissions, India's recent development of variable renewables, particularly solar and wind, has exerted a downward pressure on emissions growth, as-sisted by a sharp decline in prices for these technologies and ambitious goals for renewables growth that have repeatedly been strengthened (Khanna, 2010;MNRE, 2015;Varadhan, 2019). Development of variable renewables has been further assisted by the introduction of reverse auctions and the creation of solar parks, among other measures (Bose and Sarkar, 2019). In addition, the difficulty India has faced in ramping up domestic coal production has probably also restrained emissions growth (Carl, 2015).…”

“…Moreover, the LSPV is at the forefront of the renewable energy market. A few GW size PV power plants are being built globally [1,2]. Such a transformation in the energy sector would result in clean, green, and affordable energy.…”

“…The wind power system has several advantages, such as clean, remote power solution, small footprint, low maintenance, running cost, and huge potential for inexhaustible amount of power generation. The Wind Resource Assessment (WRA) program held by the National Institute of Wind Energy (NIWE), Chennai, covered 29 states and 3 Union Territories, aimed at establishing about 806 wind monitoring stations and also to reduce the global temperature 1 . To compensate for the increment in greenhouse gas emission, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy of India has projected an additional wind power generation capacity of 66 GW by the year 2022.…”
