The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is the nodal ministry in India responsible for all matters relating to new and renewable energy. It was established in 2006 by renaming the Ministry of Non-Conventional Energy Sources. MNRE aims to increase the share of renewable energy in India's energy mix to ensure energy security, access to clean power, and affordable energy for all. It facilitates research, development, and deployment of renewable technologies to make India a leader in renewable energy.

2. 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.

3. • 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.

4. • 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.

5. The mission of
the Ministry is to
ensure
• 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
• Increase in the share of clean power: Renewables like wind, hydro, solar,
geothermal, bio & tidal power to supplement fossil fuel based electricity
generation.
• Energy Availability and Access: Supplement energy needs of cooking, heating,
motive power and captive generation in rural, urban,industrial and commercial
sectors
• 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

6. Vision
• 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 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.
