India’s Installed Renewable Energy Capacity Reaches 220 GW|Solar at 106 GW

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has announced, the country’s total installed renewable energy (RE) capacity to be 220.10 GW as of 31st March 2025, with an 29.52 GW as an addition in the Financial Year 2024–25. Solar energy contributed 23.83 GW, bringing total solar capacity to 105.65 GW, while wind energy crossed 50 GW. This contributes to India’s progress towards its target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, as stated in the climate commitments under the ‘Panchamrit’ agenda.

In FY 2024–25, solar capacity had increased by 23.83 GW, reaching a total of 105.65 GW, consisting 81.01 GW ground-mounted, 17.02 GW rooftop, 2.87 GW hybrid, and 4.74 GW off-grid. Wind energy increased by 4.15 GW, bringing the total to 50.04 GW. Bioenergy capacity grew to 11.58 GW, including 0.53 GW from off-grid and waste-to-energy projects. Small Hydro Power reached 5.10 GW, with another 0.44 GW under development.

India has 169.40 GW of renewable energy projects under development and 65.06 GW tendered, including 65.29 GW from solutions like hybrid systems, round-the-clock (RTC) power, peaking power, and thermal + RE bundling. The projects aims towards ensuring grid stability and a dependable renewable energy supply.
