In a major milestone for the nation’s clean energy transition and climate action targets, India has crossed 300 GW of non-fossil fuel-based installed electricity generation capacity as on July 31, 2026; over 60% of the 500 GW capacity targeted to be achieved by 2030.
As on 31.07.2026, India’s Non-Fossil Fuel Capacity stood as: Solar Power: 164.59 GW; Wind Power: 58.14 GW; Hydro Power (Large & Small): 57.24 GW; Bio-power: 11.75 GW; Nuclear Power: 8.78 GW. Thus, the total Non-Fossil Capacity stood at 300.50 GW. The share of non-fossil fuel electricity capacity in the country’s total electricity generation capacity (which is around 552 GW at present), has reached over 54%.
Backed through the key policy enablers provided by the government for this transformation, this monumental achievement highlights India’s rapid progress towards building an Aatmanirbhar energy ecosystem and securing the target of 500 GW non-fossil capacity by 2030.
The growth in clean energy generation has been anchored by stellar contributions across sectors. Solar energy remains the key growth engine with around 165 GW at present from just 2.8 GW in 2014. Concurrently, the wind energy sector has also seen strong momentum reaching to over 58 GW from 21 GW in 2014.
