Introduction

• The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy

(MNRE) is the nodal Ministry of the Government
of India for all matters relating to new and
renewable energy. The broad aim of the Ministry is
to develop and deploy new and renewable energy
to supplement the energy requirements of the
country.
• Commission for Additional Sources of Energy
(CASE) in 1981.
• Department of Non-Conventional Energy Sources
(DNES) in 1982.
• Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources
(MNES) in 1992.
• Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources
(MNES) renamed as Ministry of New and
Renewable Energy (MNRE) in 2006.
• The role of new and renewable energy has been
assuming increasing significance in recent times
with the growing concern for the country's energy
security.
• Energy self-sufficiency was identified as the
major driver for new and renewable energy in the
country in the wake of the two oil shocks of the
1970s.
• The sudden increase in the price of oil,
uncertainties associated with its supply and the
adverse impact on the balance of payments
position led to the establishment of the
Commission for Additional Sources of Energy in
the Department of Science & Technology in
March 1981.
• The Commission was charged with the
responsibility of formulating policies and their
implementation, programmes for development of
new and renewable energy apart from
coordinating and intensifying R&D in the sector.
• In 1982, a new department, i.e., Department of
Non-conventional Energy Sources (DNES), that
incorporated CASE, was created in the then
Ministry of Energy. In 1992, DNES became the
Ministry of Non-conventional Energy Sources.
• In October 2006, the Ministry was re-christened
as the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy.
 • Energy Security: Development and deployment of alternate fuels like hydrogen, bio-
fuels and synthetic fuels and their applications to contribute towards bridging the gap
between domestic oil supply and demand; lesser dependency on oil imports

The mission of the • Increase in the share of clean power: Renewables like wind, hydro, solar, geothermal, bio
& tidal power to supplement fossil fuel based electricity generation.

Ministry is to • Energy Availability and Access: Supplement energy needs of cooking, heating, motive
power and captive generation in rural, urban,industrial and commercial sectors

ensure • Energy Affordability: Cost-competitive, convenient, safe, affordable and reliable energy
supply options

• Energy Equity: Per-capita energy consumption at par with the global average level by
2050, through a sustainable and diverse fuel- mix
 • To develop new and renewable
energy technologies, processes,
materials, components, sub-
systems, products & services at
par with international
specifications, standards and
performance parameters in order
Vision to make the country a net foreign
exchange earner in the sector and
deploy such indigenously
developed and/or manufactured
products and services in
furtherance of the national goal
of energy security.
