What installed electricity generation capacity did India report at the G20 Energy Abundance Ministerial Meeting?

  1. A.425 GW
  2. B.490 GW
  3. C.552 GW
  4. D.610 GW

Correct answer

C. 552 GW

Explanation

The correct answer is 552 GW. The Union Minister told the ministerial that India's installed electricity generation capacity had reached this level and that more than half of it now comes from non-fossil fuel sources. He added that India achieved key targets under its Nationally Determined Contributions ahead of schedule and is working towards Net Zero by 2070. Options A, B and D are wrong because no such figures were placed before the meeting; they sit close to the real number so that a candidate who recalls only the rough scale is caught. The share from non-fossil sources is the second half of this fact and is asked just as often, so learn the capacity and the share together rather than separately.
