Non-fossil Fuels Exceed 50% as India’s Power Capacity hits 505 GW

22 Dec 2025 CW Team

This landmark achievement aligns with India’s commitment to reach 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030 and reflects the impact of sustained policy support and infrastructure development. Notably, India crossed the 50% non-fossil installed capacity mark in June 2025—more than five years ahead of the timeline committed under its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement.

The Government of India has implemented a wide range of initiatives to accelerate renewable energy deployment. These include waiver of Inter-State Transmission System charges for solar and wind projects commissioned by June 30, 2025, green hydrogen projects till December 2030, and offshore wind projects till December 2032. Standard bidding guidelines and a bidding trajectory of 50 GW per year from FY 2023–24 to FY 2027–28 have been issued to ensure sustained capacity addition.

Further support measures include 100% foreign direct investment under the automatic route, expansion of transmission infrastructure under the Green Energy Corridor, and implementation of large-scale solar park and ultra-mega solar power schemes. Flagship programmes such as PM-KUSUM, PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana, the National Green Hydrogen Mission and offshore wind VGF schemes are also driving adoption.

Renewable Purchase and Consumption Obligations have been notified till 2029–30 to boost clean energy usage, alongside incentives for domestic manufacturing through the Production Linked Incentive scheme for high-efficiency solar PV modules. Together, these efforts reinforce India’s long-term roadmap towards energy security, affordability and its net-zero emissions target by 2070.

India has achieved a major milestone in its clean energy transition, with non-fossil fuel sources now contributing more than half of the country’s total installed power generation capacity. As on October 31, 2025, India’s total installed generation capacity stood at 5,05,023 MW, of which 2,59,423 MW is from non-fossil fuel sources, including 2,50,643 MW from renewable energy. Fossil-fuel-based capacity accounts for 2,45,600 MW.This landmark achievement aligns with India’s commitment to reach 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030 and reflects the impact of sustained policy support and infrastructure development.
