India's target of 175 GW renewable energy capacity by 2022 is flexible about the proportion that each source will contribute, according to the power minister Singh. Following a meeting with state representatives, Singh stated that while it was initially considered the capacity would consist of 100 GW of solar, 60 GW of wind and small levels of hydropower, these figures are not set in stone. The final mix will depend on which clean energy sources have the greatest potential. India has reached 79 GW of renewable capacity since announcing the goal in 2015.
