By June 30, 2025, India’s total installed power capacity reached approximately 484.82 GW, out of which 242.8 GW (about 50.1%) comes from non-fossil fuel sources. This includes renewable energy sources like solar and wind, as well as hydro and nuclear power. Achieving this milestone five years ahead of the 2030 target under the Paris Agreement highlights India's rapid progress in clean energy adoption. A major push in solar and wind capacity, government incentives, and domestic manufacturing have contributed significantly to this success.

However, even though the installed capacity has shifted towards clean sources, coal still generates nearly 70% of the country’s actual electricity output. This points to a key challenge: integrating renewable energy effectively into the national grid. Experts emphasize the need for expanded energy storage, improved grid infrastructure, and increased financial investment to ensure that clean energy not only powers capacity figures but also becomes a reliable part of daily energy supply.

This achievement marks a critical step toward India’s long-term goal of reaching 500 GW non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, setting a strong example for developing economies worldwide.
