The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) stated that India’s total installed renewable energy capacity had reached 220.10 gigawatts (GW) by March 31, an increase from 198.75 GW the previous year.
The ministry stated in an announcement that solar power was responsible for the largest share of growth, adding 23.83 gigawatts. Currently, the cumulative solar capacity totals 105.65 gigawatts, encompassing various types such as free-standing setups, residential roof-top units, integrated sections of combined initiatives, and standalone external systems.
In terms of wind energy, India installed an additional 4.15 gigawatts of capacity, bringing the overall capacity up to 50.04 gigawatts.
Bioenergy facilities have attained an overall capacity of 11.58 gigawatts, whereas small hydropower initiatives have achieved 5.10 gigawatts. Together with the solar and wind sectors, these areas help support India’s decentralized and varied energy framework.
India currently has 169.40 gigawatts of renewable energy projects underway and an additional 65.06 gigawatts have been tendered. These figures encompass 65.29 gigawatts derived from innovative approaches like hybrid systems, round-the-clock (RTC) power provision, peak demand supply, and bundled thermal with renewable energy initiatives.
