Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has recently reported the growth in India’s clean energy capacity during 2025, with installed non-fossil fuel capacity reaching 266.78 GW. According to MNRE, the installed capacity of non-fossil fuels has increased by 22.6% from 217.62 GW in 2024, with 49.12 GW added during the 2025. MNRE has stated that the solar power capacity rose to 135.81 GW from 97.86 GW, registering a 38.8% growth, while wind power capacity has increased from 48.16 GW to 54.51 GW, reflecting growth of 13.2%. The release noted that bioenergy capacity has reached 11.61 GW, including 0.55 GW from waste-to-energy off-grid projects. Small hydro capacity rose to 5.16 GW, while large hydro capacity stood at 50.91 GW, including 7,175.6 MW of pumped storage. MNRE has also added that the capacity additions will support India’s target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030. Recently, MNRE has released updates on its PV research progress, including perovskite efficiencies and off-grid schemes supporting tribal electrification.
