India’s Power Capacity Crosses 500 GW; Renewables Exceed 50 per cent

03 Nov 2025 CW Team

India’s power sector has reached two major milestones, marking its steady progress towards a clean and self-reliant energy future. As of 30 September 2025, the country’s total installed electricity capacity surpassed 500 GW, reaching 500.89 GW. Notably, non-fossil fuel sources — including renewable, hydro, and nuclear — account for 256.09 GW, or over 51 per cent of the total capacity.

During FY 2025–26, India added 28 GW of non-fossil capacity compared to 5.1 GW of fossil-based capacity, underscoring the nation’s accelerating energy transition. On 29 July 2025, renewable sources met 51.5 per cent of India’s total electricity demand of 203 GW — the highest-ever share for green energy in a single day.

With over 127 GW of solar and 53 GW of wind capacity, India has achieved its COP26 goal of 50 per cent non-fossil capacity by 2030, five years ahead of schedule.

The Ministry of Power and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) credited this success to collective efforts across public and private sectors, highlighting India’s growing leadership in the global clean energy transition.
