India's Solar Energy Mission

India's energy demand is increasing day by day due to its growing population of 1.1 billion and a rapidly expanding economy. India's energy demands currently depend on coal and fossil fuels when the pricing of fossil fuels in the international market is highly volatile and domestic coal mining is under the black clouds. India’s energy goals are further complicated by its voluntary commitment to reduce the emissions intensity of its GDP by 20–25% by 2020.
India has launched the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission to address its entwined challenges fo energy security and climate change. The Mission aims to achieve grid parity (electricity delivered at the same cost and quality as that delivered on the grid) by 2020, by fostering the installation of 20 GW of solar installations. Achieving this target would establish India as a global leader in solar power generation.
Under the flag of the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, The Mission will be accomplished in following three phases:
Phase 1 (2012–13) - Smaller scale projects have been commissioned which employ only commercially established technologies in order to ensure early successes with minimum risks.
Phase 2 (2013–17) - The size and capacity of solar power installations will be aggressively expanded to such a scale to establish India as a leader in the solar energy market.
Phase 3 (2017–22) - In this phase the creation of favourable conditions for domestic solar manufacturing capability and leadership will be in prime focus.
Government is fully determined to take all necessary steps for the development of renewable energy sector.
