In line with the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision outlined at COP-26, Government is working to reach 500 GW Non-fossil energy capacity by 2030.

India achieved the milestone of 50% of its cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel sources in June 2025, five years ahead of the 2030 target set under its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement.

India crossed 250 GW milestone of non-fossil power installed capacity in August, 2025. The total non-fossil power installed capacity has reached 262.74 GW in November, 2025 which is 51.5% of the total installed electricity capacity in the country (509.64 GW).

Highest-ever renewable energy capacity addition has been made during 2025. The total renewable energy capacity added during the year (till November) is 44.51 GW which is nearly double as compared to the 24.72 GW during the same period last year. The total renewable energy installed capacity has reached 253.96 GW in November, 2025 which is an increase of over 23% as compared to the 205.52 GW in November 2024.
