India's renewable power capacity surges to over half of national electricity mix
Renewable sources now provide 300 gigawatts, representing 54% of India's total power capacity, up from just 4 gigawatts a decade ago.
India has expanded its renewable electricity capacity to 300 gigawatts, accounting for more than half of the country's overall power capacity. Ten years earlier, renewable capacity stood at only 4 gigawatts. This rapid growth highlights a major shift toward cleaner energy. However, the grid faces a new challenge: matching the increased generation with sufficient demand and distribution infrastructure.
Why it matters
India's renewable surge reshapes global energy markets and tests the country's grid infrastructure.
