India Boosts Renewable Power Capacity With Over 60 GW New Additions

India now holds 288 gigawatts of renewable power, with solar installations making up 56 percent of that total, while wind, hydro and biomass fill the remainder, marking a significant rise in clean energy generation.

ReNew projects adding more than 60 gigawatts of new renewable capacity, primarily through large‑scale solar farms and wind parks, a scale that would lift the national total well beyond current levels and accelerate the shift toward greener power.

Solar Share now exceeds half of India’s renewable mix, reflecting policy incentives, falling panel costs, and support from the International Solar Alliance that has helped coordinate large‑scale installations across the country’s vast terrain.

Implications include stronger progress toward national climate goals, reduced coal dependence, enhanced energy security, and expanded market opportunities for investors and manufacturers, while also creating jobs in construction and operations of clean‑energy assets.
