This week that goal was increased to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesstoday.in\/sectors\/energy\/india-renewable-energy-target-227-gw-solar-wind-government\/story\/278594.html\">227 gigawatts<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p>Currently, India has added a little more than 70 gigawatts of that goal. Assessing the progress to date on a linear scale, the trend would seem to indicate the country is behind.
