As India continues to experience rapid economic growth and urbanization, the demand for electricity is rising steadily. To meet this demand sustainably, the country has set ambitious goals for expanding its renewable energy capacity, targeting 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based capacity by 2030. This paper aims to forecast the installed electricity generation from renewable energy per capita in India until 2030, focusing on solar, wind, hydro, and biomass energy. Using historical data from 2014 to 2022.Additionally, the research considers key exogenous factors such as population growth, technological advancements, and policy shifts in India's renewable energy landscape. The results indicate a significant increase in per capita renewable energy generation, primarily driven by solar and wind power. However, challenges related to grid integration, energy storage, and regional disparities in energy access may affect the realization of these projections. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers, energy planners, and stakeholders in India's renewable energy sector, highlighting the need for continued investments in infrastructure and technology to ensure equitable and sustainable energy access across the country.
