India has reached a significant milestone in its renewable energy journey, with the country’s total renewable energy capacity crossing the 200 GW (Gigawatt) mark as of October 10, 2024. According to the Central Electricity Authority, the total renewable energy-based electricity generation capacity now stands at 201.45 GW. This achievement underscores India’s growing commitment to clean energy and its progress in building a greener future.
When factoring in the 8,180 MW (megawatt) of nuclear capacity, the total non-fossil fuel-based power now accounts for almost half of the country’s installed electricity generation capacity, signalling a strong move toward clean energy leadership on the global stage.
