India's clean energy transition: state tracker
How India and the six SuCRIT states are moving from fossil to clean power
Changes from consultant feedback (2 Nov) · purple labels show where each one is
- Year-by-year trends with estimates: every row in A · Report card now has a 2023 → 2026 trend with the 2026 estimate (hollow dot) and the 2030 figure (dashed); the O · Overview "Six states over time" chart shows every year plus 2030.
- Overall comparison of states: new O · Overview tab with the indicators that are ready to compare across states, side by side.
- Policy changes: new D · Policy changes tab, ready for qualitative entries (empty until the secretariat adds them).
- Fewer written judgements: commentary in C · Story and the longer explanations in A moved into hovers (look for the ⓘ).
Only the indicators that can be compared fairly across states. Bars are sorted best first; the grey line is India.
Six states over time
Every year 2023 → 2026 estimate, and 2030 where the sheet has it. India dashed.
Clean power bought vs the law, by state and year
Indicator 4. Each cell: share bought / share required. Proxy values; official compliance is assessed by BEE.
Qualitative record of policies introduced in each state, for example cheaper electric vehicles or new solar rules. Use the State filter above; India (all) shows every state.
What each entry will show

[One or two lines on what changed, in plain words.]
Policies over time
Each state's entries will sit on this 2023 → 2026 timeline.
Proposed columns for a new "Policy_changes" tab in the master sheet
One row per policy. Needs agreement with Anusha and the secretariat.

| State | One of the six states, or India for national policies |
| Date introduced | Month and year |
| Policy name | Official name or a short title |

Places × years
Out of every 100 units, how many are clean? Power plants on the left, the electricity they actually produce on the right.
CO₂ released for each unit of electricity used. Lower is better.
Storage lets solar power be used after sunset. Each square is 1% of all storage ordered since 2023 (batteries and pumped hydro).
By law, power companies must buy a rising share of clean power. The dashed line is what the law requires; the solid line is what they actually bought (proxy values until official BEE figures arrive).
The headline goal: on track in the models, not yet measured
SuCRIT's goal is an extra ~15% cut in emissions per rupee of GDP by 2030, beyond what India would cut anyway. Modelling says 21.7%, but no measured figure exists until India's next climate report (BTR).
