India Surpasses 300 GW Non-Fossil Energy Capacity, Expands Solar Manufacturing
India has reached a significant clean energy milestone with its non-fossil electricity capacity surpassing 300 GW as of July 2026, led by solar power at 164.59 GW. Renewable energy now accounts for over 54% of the country's total 552 GW capacity, with targets to increase this to 60% by 2035. This growth has also positioned India as a rising competitor in global solar manufacturing, challenging China's dominance and expanding domestic production capacity beyond 200 GW.
