What Happened
India has officially exceeded 300 GW of installed non-fossil fuel electricity capacity. As of July 31, the country reached a capacity of 300.50 GW. This achievement represents over 54 percent of the nation's total installed power capacity, which currently stands at 552 GW. Solar power leads the expansion of these clean energy sources, followed by wind and hydro energy.
The milestone marks progress toward the national goal of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030, with approximately 60 percent of that target now met. The expansion has been supported by growth in domestic manufacturing for solar equipment. This development is framed by the government as a key step in the country's ongoing transition toward green energy.
