It has also brought several challenges along with it like pollution, global warming and climate change. To overcome the energy demand and cut carbon emissions, India has been increasing its capacity to generate renewable energy and reducing its dependency on conventional energy sources like fossil fuels. The present study gives a glimpse into the numerous programs and policies being implemented in India to promote the production and use of renewable energy sources including wind and solar energy. It also gives an overview of various energy efficiency initiatives being taken to reduce energy consumption, improve energy security and support sustainable economic growth.  aEnglish  aRenewable energy sourcesxGovernment policyzIndia  aSustainable developmentxEnergy aspectszIndia  aEnergy policyxEnvironmental aspectszIndia  aSolar energyxUtilizationzIndia  aWind powerxUtilizationzIndia  aEnergy consumptionxEnvironmental aspectszIndia  aClimatic changesxPreventionzIndia  aGreen technologyxEconomic aspectszIndia  aJindal, Rajeev  eeditor  aGarg, Ashish eeditor  aIndian Institute of Technology, Kanpur
