Day by day, the exponential growth in the electricity demand is being seen, while the resources of fossil fuel are decreasing. The limited resources of fossil fuel force the world to use renewable energy. The renewable resources are characterized by a source of clean/green energy, omnipresent, freely available. Even though the renewables have strong potential to meet the future electricity demand; it only contributes approximately 24% to the world electricity generation. India has a strong potential of the possibility of roughly 1001 GW of power generations from renewable energy, but nearly 69 GW of power have been installed presently. This scenario reveals that there is a need for development in renewable technologies. In this direction, India has set the target of 175 GW of power generations from the renewable resources by the year 2022. The addition and expansion of the renewable energies experience some barriers in the present situation. The present article concentrates on the identification and addressing of barriers toward the renewable developments and recommendations proposed to overcome these barriers. The current energy scenario of India and estimated potential and future targets of the renewable energies have also been presented.
