India Surpasses 300 GW Non-Fossil Power Capacity, Reaching 60% of 2030 Goal
India has surpassed 300 GW of installed non-fossil fuel electricity capacity as of July 31, 2026, achieving over 60% of its 500 GW target for 2030. This capacity includes solar (164.59 GW), wind (58.14 GW), hydropower (57.24 GW), bio-power (11.75 GW), and nuclear power (8.78 GW), representing more than 54% of the country's total 552 GW power capacity. The rapid expansion, driven mainly by solar and wind, was supported by domestic manufacturing growth and policy incentives, with a record 55.29 GW added in 2025-26. Challenges remain in integrating this capacity through improved transmission and storage infrastructure.
