The study investigates the prospects of India entering the global renewable energy market with the distributed energy generated by Indian household prosumers and commercial energy producers. The systematic review relied on a predefined search strategy, which allowed to select fifteen peer-reviewed articles in the English language for critical analysis. The study identified the following themes associated with the feasibility of the project: grid parity, economic barriers, policy targets, government support, solar and wind power development, and renewable energy certificates. The results of the study show that the number and severity of drivers for the country’s participation in the global RE market overweigh barriers to it. The study provides a clear perspective on Indian prospects of participating in the global RE trade, thereby opening avenues for future inquiry.
