JMK Research, an India-based analytics firm, has reported India's non-hydro renewable capacity crossed 203 GW by November 2025. Total additions during 2025 exceeded 40 GW, led primarily by utility-scale PV installations nationwide. Solar additions reached 34.9+ GW, while wind installations contributed 5.8+ GW during the year. The capacity growth was supported by utility-scale projects, rooftop systems, open access installations, and DISCOM PPAs. According to the review, storage-linked renewable tenders increased alongside standalone battery energy storage procurement activity. Battery energy storage tenders achieved record-low tariffs of INR 1.48 lakh per MW per month. Domestic solar module and cell manufacturing capacity crossed the 175 GW and 30 GW marks respectively during the 2025 review period. Despite additions, grid challenges persisted, with renewable curtailment reaching up to 30% in some states.
