New Delhi, Dec 19: India’s installed power generation capacity has reached 505,023 MW as of October 31, 2025, with over 50% derived from non-fossil sources, according to Minister of State for Power, Shripad Yesso Naik.
The achievement, marked in June 2025, is a significant milestone, surpassing the country’s Nationally Determined Contributions target by more than five years.
This transition towards non-fossil fuels is crucial for addressing climate change and ensuring energy security while supporting economic growth in line with India’s goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2070.
The government is taking steps to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030, which includes waiving certain transmission charges for solar, wind, and green hydrogen projects, and issuing guidelines for competitive tariff-based procurement of renewable energy.
Furthermore, there is an allowance for 100% Foreign Direct Investment under the automatic route, alongside plans to enhance energy infrastructure through the Green Energy Corridor and implementation of the Production Linked Incentive scheme for Solar PV Modules.
Additionally, the government aims to advance nuclear energy development with a budget of Rs 20,000 crore for five small modular reactors, targeting a cumulative nuclear capacity of 100 GW by 2047.
