India could meet its ambitious target of having 175 GW of renewable energy flowing through its grid by 2022, making up about 22% of generation, according to a study by the US Department of Energy's National Renewable Energy Laboratory. The report said that India's solar capacity was expected to grow from just over 1 gigawatt (GW) in 2016 to more than 2 GW, or nearly half of total capacity, within five years.
