Explanation

In the early 2000s, non-conventional energy sources (wind, solar, small hydro, biomass, etc.) contributed approximately 3% to India's total installed grid capacity. This reflected the early stage of renewable energy development in India. The contribution has since grown significantly with policy push and technological improvements in the renewable energy sector.
