In line with the Prime Minister’s vision outlined at COP-26, government is working to reach 500 GW non-fossil energy capacity by 2030. Highest-ever renewable energy capacity addition has been made during 2025. The total renewable energy capacity added during the year (till November 2025) is 44.51 GW, which is nearly double as compared to the 24.72 GW during the same period in the previous year. The total renewable energy installed capacity has reached 253.96 GW in November, 2025, which is an increase of over 23% as compared to the 205.52 GW in November 2024.
Solar is the major contributor in this progress. Solar capacity addition is 34.98 GW compared to the 20.85 GW during the same period in 2024. Solar energy installed capacity crossed 100 GW mark in January, 2025. The solar energy installed capacity has reached 132.85 GW in November, 2025, which is an increase of over 41% as compared to the 94.17 GW in November 2024.
Wind capacity also registered a substantial growth with capacity addition of 5.82 GW compared to 3.2 GW during the same period in 2024. Wind energy installed capacity crossed 50 GW mark in March, 2025. The wind energy installed capacity has reached 53.99 GW in November, 2025 which is an increase of over 12.5% as compared to the 47.96 GW in November 2024.
