India's Renewable Energy Investment Grows Amid Global Shift Beyond Coal in 2025

In 2025, renewable energy investments in India surged over five-fold to $2 billion despite a slight drop in deal numbers, reflecting a shift toward strategic, large-scale projects amid global energy security concerns. Globally, renewables surpassed coal in the power mix for the first time, driven by solar and wind growth, with India and China reducing fossil fuel electricity generation. Falling battery costs and geopolitical tensions, including the West Asia conflict, may accelerate this transition, though coal still dominates India's electricity supply.
