The ICE Policy includes a target of developing 78.5 GW of solar capacity, 35 GW of wind energy, 22 GW of pumped storage, and 1.5 MTPA of green hydrogen manufacturing. The state also plans to establish 25 GWh of battery energy storage, ethanol and biogas production facilities, and 5,000 EV charging stations. Additionally, Andhra Pradesh is considering 25-30 GW of cleantech manufacturing, expected to create 7,50,000 direct and indirect jobs.
