The Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has announced that the country added 29.52 GW of renewable energy capacity during the 2024-2025 financial year. Solar represented the highest increase with 24 GW of new solar capacity, bringing to a total of 106 GW, which includes 81 GW from ground-mounted projects, 17 GW from rooftop solar systems, 2.9 GW from hybrid projects, and 4.7 GW from off-grid systems. Wind capacity saw an increase of 4.15 GW (up from 3 GW in FY 2023–24), bringing its total installed capacity to 50 GW. Biomass increased by almost 12 GW (including 0.53 GW from off-grid and waste-to-energy sources), and small hydro grew by 5.1 GW with a 440 MW pipeline currently under implementation. 

The country’s renewable energy pipeline is estimated to have over 169 GW of renewable energy projects under implementation and 65 GW already tendered. Among the projects, there are about 65 GW of new technologies like hybrid energy systems, round-the-clock power, peaking power, and thermal plus renewable energy bundling.

India targets to reach 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based energy capacity by 2030.
