Abstract The usage of energy resources per person actually a significant factor to determine the quality of human life(HDI) as per the latest report of UNDP. As per the global estimate, the per capita energy consumption by an average American in a single day is equivalent to that of a person from Burkina Faso in a year. This contrast can also be attributed to usage of large percentage of conventional fuels in underdeveloped countries to the maximum usage of commercial fuels in developed countries. That is why the consumption of energy in underdeveloped and developing countries in near future will be ever increasing as all those nations will naturally have the aspiration towards growth and most modern lifestyle. More energy requirement means the more carbon foot prints because of excessive rate of use of non-renewable energy resources. The impact of excessive carbon emission to the nature has already started showing some of the adverse effects like, global warming, the rapid melting of ice in Arctic regions, resulting in sea water level rising and many more. Hence the alternate is to go for renewable energy resources, which can actually check the excessive carbon usage. India with more than 1.40 billion people has to act very quickly and smartly to minimise the damage to the environment without compromising her growth story. To make a sustainable development model, the thrust should be put on renewable and new energy resources, minimising the heavy dependence on fossil fuels for her sustainable growth. In my paper, I shall try to highlight India’s achievement in renewable energy and her capacity building measures, new innovations to sustain and achieve a growth up to 500GW of renewable energy producer by the year 2030.

Key Words: HDI, renewable energy, sustainability, carbon foot print, new innovation, etc.
