India's Installed Power Capacity Expected to Surpass 2,000 GW by 2047
India's installed electricity generation capacity is projected to exceed 2,000 gigawatts by 2047, nearly quadrupling current levels, driven mainly by a significant expansion in solar power from 119 GW to over 1,100 GW. The Energy Climate Initiatives Society report highlights the need for a forty-fold increase in grid-scale storage to support renewable integration. Non-fossil sources already constitute 53% of the 540 GW capacity, ahead of targets, while peak demand is expected to rise substantially by 2032 due to emerging sectors like data centers and green hydrogen.
