Guess what fuelled the growth.

Renewable energy in India continues its expansion, as the country records a 15.84% increase in its clean energy capacity to reach 209.44 gigawatts (GW) from 180.80 GW a year ago.

According to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE), solar power led the additions with 24.54 GW, reflecting a 33.47% rise in its cumulative installed capacity from 73.32 GW in 2023 to 97.86 GW in 2024. Wind energy, meanwhile, recorded a total capacity of 48.16 GW, a growth of 7.64% from 2023.

Bioenergy also recorded significant growth last year, with its installed capacity rising 4.70% to 11.35 GW. Small hydro power projects saw a 2.20% rise to reach 5.10 GW in 2024.

“MNRE under Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy Shri Pralhad Joshi has been taking various key initiatives to achieve Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s vision of 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, reflecting India’s dedication to fulfilling its climate commitments while strengthening energy security,” the ministry said.
