India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has reported significant progress in its clean energy sector for the Financial Year 2024-25, with a record annual capacity addition of 29.52 GW. The total installed renewable energy capacity in the country has reached 220.10 GW, up from 198.75 GW in the previous fiscal.
Solar energy contributed the most to the year’s capacity expansion, with 23.83 GW added in FY 2024-25, a significant increase over the previous year. Wind energy also saw sustained progress, with 4.15 GW of new capacity added, compared to 3.25 GW in FY 2023-24. Bioenergy and Small Hydro Power sectors continue to contribute to.
India’s decentralized and diversified energy landscape. India has 169.40 GW of renewable energy projects under implementation and 65.06 GW already tendered, including 65.29 GW from emerging solutions such as hybrid systems, round-the-clock power, peaking power, and thermal + RE bundling projects.
The continued growth reflects India’s commitment to climate goals and energy Singapore-based Sembcorp have formed a joint venture to develop green hydrogen and renewable energy projects across India security, underscoring the government’s focused efforts to scale up renewable energy deployment across the country.
India’s renewable energy sector achieved a significant milestone in the fiscal year 2024–25, adding a record 25 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity—a 35% increase over the previous year’s 18.57 GW . This expansion brings the nation’s total non-fossil fuel capacity to 222.86 GW, reinforcing India’s position as a global leader in clean energy.
Solar and Wind Power Drive Growth
Solar energy was the primary contributor, with approximately 24 GW added during the year, increasing the total installed solar capacity to 105.65 GW . Wind energy Singapore-based Sembcorp have formed a joint venture to develop green hydrogen and renewable energy projects across India also saw substantial growth, surpassing the 50 GW mark by March 2025.
National Energy Landscape
As of March 31, 2025, India’s total installed power generation capacity stood at 483.26 GW, with non-fossil sources accounting for 222.86 GW This includes Singapore-based Sembcorp have formed a joint venture to develop green hydrogen and renewable energy projects across India contributions from solar, wind, hydro, biomass, and nuclear energy.
Policy Initiatives and Industry Collaborations
The Indian government has implemented various initiatives to support renewable energy growth, such as the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for solar manufacturing and the Green Energy Corridor project to enhance transmission infrastructure. Additionally, Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL).
Challenges and Outlook
Despite these advancements, the sector faces challenges, including tender cancellations and delays in power purchase agreements, which could impact future growth . Nevertheless, India’s commitment to achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030 remains steadfast, with continued investments and policy support expected to drive further progress.
