India has been placed 63rd on the Global Energy Transition Index, as per the latest report by the World Economic Forum (WEF). The index assesses the progress of countries towards sustainable energy systems based on various indicators such as energy security, environmental sustainability, and affordability. Sweden has emerged as the leader, recognized for its robust efforts in transitioning towards cleaner energy sources.

The ranking highlights India's ongoing efforts and challenges in its energy transition journey. Despite initiatives like the expansion of renewable energy capacity and policy reforms aimed at reducing carbon emissions, the country faces significant hurdles in achieving a sustainable energy ecosystem. Factors such as energy access, affordability, and the integration of renewable energy sources remain crucial areas for improvement.

The WEF report underscores the importance of accelerating global efforts towards energy transition, emphasising the need for collaborative policies and investments in renewable energy infrastructure. It encourages countries to enhance their commitments to cleaner energy solutions to mitigate climate change impacts and foster sustainable development.

India's position on the index reflects both achievements and areas requiring attention in its energy transition strategy. Continued advancements in renewable energy adoption and sustainable practices are essential for India to enhance its global standing and contribute effectively to the collective goals of energy security and environmental stewardship.
