This study examines the latest advancements in green energy within India and their socioeconomic implications, taking into account both environmental sustainability and economic progress. India's dedication to transitioning to clean energy is motivated by its ambitious renewable energy targets, efforts to combat climate change, and the aim of generating socio-economic advantages for its large population. This research analyzes the effects of India's transition to green energy on job creation, economic growth, rural development, and environmental sustainability. It consolidates current statistics on India's renewable energy output and evaluates the socio-economic results arising from this transition. Green energy is swiftly becoming more significant as India works to satisfy its increasing energy needs while minimizing its carbon emissions. India has positioned itself as a global frontrunner in the deployment of renewable energy, particularly in solar, wind, and biogas sectors.
