According to Union Minister Manohar Lal at the NGT conference in September 2026, non-fossil sources account for nearly what share of India's installed generation capacity?
- A.40 per cent
- B.50 per cent
- C.55 per cent
- D.65 per cent
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 55 per cent. Speaking at the valedictory session of the National Green Tribunal's conference, Manohar Lal, Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs and Power, said non-fossil sources account for nearly 55 per cent of India's installed generation capacity. He presented this as part of India's effort to balance rapid development with environmental sustainability.
Option B, 50 per cent, is the trap. That figure is the non-fossil capacity target, which the minister said India achieved five years ahead of schedule; it is not the current share. Options A and D, 40 and 65 per cent, are not mentioned in the release. Keep the two numbers distinct in your notes: the target was 50 per cent and was met early, while the present share is nearly 55 per cent.
