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.

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.
