Overview
- Between April 2024 and April 2025, India installed a historic 30 GW of solar, wind and other clean power, enough to power nearly 18 million homes.
- Coal’s share of installed capacity has fallen from 60% to below 50% over the past 11 years even as it continues to generate three-quarters of the country’s electricity.
- Falling solar panel and battery costs have driven a 30-fold increase in solar capacity since 2015, making renewables the cheapest new power source.
- Almost 170 GW of renewable projects are in the development pipeline, keeping India on track for its 500 GW clean energy goal by 2030.
- Insufficient transmission infrastructure and energy storage shortfalls also threaten to slow the pace of India’s clean energy expansion.
