New Delhi, June 5, 2025 — India has solidified its position as a global frontrunner in clean energy, achieving a remarkable threefold increase in renewable energy capacity over the past decade. The nation’s installed renewable energy capacity has reached 232 gigawatts (GW), up from 75.52 GW in March 2014, encompassing solar, wind, hydro, and bioenergy sources. 
This significant growth has propelled India to third place globally in solar energy capacity and fourth in both wind power and total renewable energy capacity.
Key Highlights:
• Solar Energy Surge: India’s solar power capacity has experienced a staggering 41-fold increase, rising from 2.82 GW in 2014 to over 108 GW in 2025. 
• Wind Energy Expansion: Wind power capacity has more than doubled, reaching 51 GW, with significant contributions from states like Gujarat and Tamil Nadu. 
• Ambitious Targets: India aims to achieve 500 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030, aligning with its commitments under the Paris Agreement to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable development. 
This progress is attributed to a series of bold reforms, strategic investments, and a clear long-term vision pursued consistently under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the past 11 years. Government incentives, policy frameworks, and public-private partnerships have played a crucial role in accelerating the adoption of renewable energy across the country. 
India’s commitment to clean energy not only addresses its growing energy demands but also positions the nation as a key player in the global transition towards sustainable and environmentally friendly energy solutions.
