Delhi has pledged to source half of its energy needs or 500 gigawatts (GW) of electricity from renewable sources by 2032, key to global efforts to combat climate change.

The Adani Group is slated to contribute to a tenth of that capacity.

The legal troubles in the US could temporarily delay the group's expansion plans but will not affect the government's overall targets, analysts say.

India has made impressive strides in building clean energy infrastructure over the last decade.
