Renewable energy (RE) sources contributed to 71 per cent of the 26GW of power generation capacity that India added in FY 2023-2024, according to the latest edition of the CEEW Centre for Energy Finance (CEEW-CEF) Market Handbook released recently. The country's total installed energy ...
India added 4 GW of new coal-fired power generation capacity in 2024, maintaining the same level as last year's five-year high, according to official government data, marking the highest level since 2019 when the country added 7.4 GW. Coal remains critical to contribute to over 70% of Indi...
In this background, in December 2023, the Government of India announced that it has initiated steps to increase the nuclear power capacity of India from 7,480 MW to 22,480 MW by 2032. The press release also mentioned that construction and commission of ten reactors aggregating 8,000 MW is ...
of which 16 gigawatts of utility-scale solar was installed in 2022 alone. Yet, solar and wind still account for less than a quarter of the power generation capacity, with coal dominating the rest. As a result, India’s electricity generation remains...
As on 30.06.2021, the total power generation capacity installed from non-fossil fuel sources was 150.06 GW; which is 39% of the total installed capacity. Therefore, India is well in its way to achieving, and surpassing its nationally determined contribution (NDC) target which was 40...
s power generation assets, especially solar, would be approximately 4.6%. India would also need to develop the requisite recycling capacities to handle the solar PV waste generated. At present, India has 100 GW of installed renewable energy capacity, of which solar comprises 40 GW, and i...
The firm, which now generates nearly 1.8% of India’s total electricity annually, has a total capacity of 13 Gigawatts (GW) of wind and solar, including projects in the works. ReNew Power is now studying green hydrogen opportunities, specifically in Egypt, having signed a framework agreement ...
Such an adjustment would be demanding but not impossible; for perspective, the Chinese government installed over 750 GW of renewable generation capacity (wind, solar and hydro) over the past decade with ambition to reach 1000 GW of installed wind power by 205023. India lies at a fork in...

towns and villages but still faces peak-time shortages as demand surges. It is largely dependent on coal-based power generation as storage technologies are expensive and not yet widespread. The country is targeting an increase in non-fossil fuel power capacity to 500GW by 2030, from 186GW now...
