Overview

• Non-fossil installed capacity reached 242.78 GW by July 2025, driven by 116 GW of solar and 51.6 GW of wind
• Large hydropower and nuclear facilities contribute 234 GW and 8.7 GW respectively, accounting for just over half of India’s 484.8 GW total capacity
• Coal continues to supply 73.4 percent of actual electricity generation despite balanced capacity, highlighting intermittency and grid constraints
• Adani Green Energy, ReNew Power and other leading firms are scaling pumped hydro and battery storage projects to improve reliability
• A projected 2–2.5× surge in demand by 2047 and plans for 80 GW of new coal plants by 2032 pose significant challenges to full decarbonization
