India Surpasses 300 GW Non-Fossil Capacity, Targets 500 GW by 2030 with Investment Needs
India has surpassed 300 GW of installed non-fossil fuel power capacity and aims to reach 500 GW by 2030, according to Union Minister Pralhad Joshi. The country added about 17 GW of renewable energy in the first four months of FY27, with solar power as the largest contributor. Achieving the 2030 target will require over Rs 30 lakh crore in investment, primarily from domestic financial institutions and capital markets. The upcoming Bharat Renewable Energy Summit Expo 2026 aims to attract global partnerships and showcase projects.
