thebalanced.newsIndia's Record Wind and Renewable Growth Drives Global Fossil Fuel Power Decline in 2025
In 2025, India achieved a record 6.3 GW addition in wind power capacity, becoming the world's third-largest market and surpassing the US and Germany. Alongside strong solar and hydropower growth, India's renewable generation rose by 98 TWh, doubling electricity demand growth and reducing fossil fuel-based power by 52 TWh. This contributed to a historic simultaneous decline in fossil electricity generation in India and China, marking a global shift as renewables met all new electricity demand and coal's share fell below one-third worldwide.
