►   Increasing the target for electricity generation from renewables to 10% by 2010 (as against 2012 currently) and 20% by 2020, of the total electricity generated in the country (and not as a percentage of installed capacity).

►   Making solar water heating mandatory throughout the urban areas of the country by 2012 in a phased manner.

►   Demonstration of solar rooftop lighting systems in 10,000 government buildings by 2010 in a time-bound manner.

►   Conversion of fossil fuel-based industrial heating to solar thermal heating using new solar concentrator technology or its hybrids.

►   Time-bound conversion of 30,000 MW of industrial diesel-based captive units to biofuel-based generation, thus saving large amounts of diesel.

►   Accelerating biofuel development and transportation energy to displace fossil fuels. A time-bound Renewable Fuel programme covering ethanol and biodiesel has been proposed.

►   Charting a definite road map for developing a hydrogen and fuel cell economy.

►   Establishing Renewable Energy Development Funds in all states.

►  Making renewable electricity and fuel purchase obligations mandatory.

►   Introducing three technology missions on solar energy, biofuels, and hydrogen.
