India faces several challenges in achieving its ambitious renewable energy targets. These include:
- Land acquisition issues and inadequate power evacuation infrastructure
- Inconsistent policies and grid integration problems
- Need for massive investments of USD 350-400 billion over the next decade
- Stranded asset risk and threat to coal sector workers
- Grid integration and stability issues
- Intermittency and storage challenges
- E-waste and end-of-life management
- Geopolitical resource dependencies
- Biofuel land use dilemma and climate change impacts on RE infrastructure
- Urban planning and RE integration
To overcome these challenges, India can adopt several strategies, including :
- Floating solar revolution
- Land leasing revolution
- Renewable energy special economic zones
- Workforce transition from coal to clean energy
- Blockchain-powered decentralized energy trading
- Vertical axis wind turbines for urban environments
- Green hydrogen highways
- Solar thermal oases
- Waste-to-energy circular parks

To integrate sustainable agriculture into India’s food systems and improve food security while protecting the environment, we can focus on a few key practices:
1. Crop Rotation: Growing different crops in the same field in different seasons to keep the soil healthy.
2. Organic Farming: Using natural fertilizers and pesticides to avoid harming the soil and water.
3. Water Conservation: Implementing methods like drip irrigation to save water.
4. Agroforestry: Planting trees and crops together to improve soil quality and provide additional income.
5. Local Seeds: Using native seeds that are better suited to local climates and pests.
6. Reduce Food Waste: Improving storage and transportation to prevent food from spoiling.
These practices help ensure a steady food supply, keep the land fertile, and protect natural resources, making farming more sustainable for future generations.
