The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has reported strong progress in India’s clean energy sector for the Financial Year 2024–25. A record 29.52 GW of renewable energy capacity was added during the year, taking the total installed renewable capacity to 220.10 GW as of 31 March 2025.
Solar energy was the main driver of this increase, with 23.83 GW added in FY 2024–25. This is a notable jump from the 15.03 GW added in the previous year. The country’s total installed solar capacity now stands at 105.65 GW, which includes 81.01 GW from ground-mounted projects, 17.02 GW from rooftop solar, 2.87 GW from hybrid project components, and 4.74 GW from off-grid systems.
Wind energy also saw steady growth, with 4.15 GW added in FY 2024–25, up from 3.25 GW in the previous year. This brings India’s total wind capacity to 50.04 GW.
Bioenergy installations have reached a capacity of 11.58 GW, including 0.53 GW from off-grid and waste-to-energy systems. Small Hydro Power projects now stand at 5.10 GW, with an additional 0.44 GW under implementation.
Beyond operational projects, India has a pipeline of 169.40 GW of renewable energy projects under implementation and 65.06 GW already tendered. Of this, 65.29 GW comes from emerging solutions such as hybrid systems, round-the-clock (RTC) power, peaking power, and thermal plus renewable bundling.
The strong annual performance highlights India’s commitment to its climate goals, energy security, and long-term transition to a low-carbon economy.
