The total solar capacity, including projects under implementation and those tendered, now stands at 250.57 GW, up from 166.49 GW the previous year. Wind energy also grew, with its installed capacity rising by 7.8 per cent, from 44.29 GW to 47.72 GW. The wind energy pipeline now holds a total of 72.35 GW in projects.

From April to October 2024, 12.6 GW of renewable capacity was added, including 1.72 GW in October alone. By October 2024, renewable projects under implementation had reached 143.94 GW, and 89.69 GW were tendered, showing strong progress toward India’s clean energy targets. Large hydro projects contributed 46.93 GW, while nuclear power added 8.18 GW to the renewable portfolio, strengthening India’s energy mix.

Minister of New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, stated on X that solar capacity had surged by an impressive 28 per cent over the past year, and wind energy had grown by nearly 8 per cent.
