Abstract: India aims to transition from a fossil fuel burning economy to a comparatively low-carbon economy through the increased use of renewables. To achieve this, India aims to build 175 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2022, establishing one of the largest renewable programs in the world. Such a steep change has enormous implications for policy and sustainability. Success in this transformation will require progress on many fronts, the key points of which were discussed at the KAPSARC workshop.
