    Explanation:

    The total installed renewable energy capacity in India, excluding large hydro, has crossed the mile-stone of 100 GW.

    • Today India stands at 4th position in the world in terms of installed RE capacity, 5th in solar and 4th in wind in terms of installed capacity.
    • If large hydro is included the installed RE capacity increases to 146 GW.
    • While 100 GW has been installed, 50 GW is under installation and 27 GW is under tendering.
    • India has also enhanced its ambition to install 450 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.

    Hence only statement 2nd is correct.
