India expects to nearly quadruple its solar power capacity and triple wind power-generating assets within ten years, according to the new Generation Adequacy Plan published by the country’s Central Electricity Authority. 
India projects to have a total of 509 gigawatts (GW) of solar power capacity installed by the end of the 2035-2036 fiscal year, up from 140 GW installed solar PV capacity as of January 2026.  
For wind power, the country expects 155 GW of installed capacity within a decade, up from 55 GW as of January this year, as per the generation planning studies in the Central Electricity Authority’s report. 
Total power capacity in the country is planned at 1,121 GW by 2026, of which 315 GW would be coal, 20 GW natural gas, 22 GW nuclear, 78 GW large hydropower, 509 GW solar, 155 GW wind, 16 GW biomass, and 6 GW small hydropower facilities. 
Additionally, India plans energy storage installed capacity of 174 GW/888 GWh within a decade.

“The non-fossil fuel-based installed capacity would be about 786 GW i.e 70% of the total installed capacity by 2035-36, as compared to 52% in January 2026,” the report said.  
“The installed generation capacity projection in 2035-36 shows that the country is moving toward a strong transition to non-fossil energy. Renewable sources, especially solar PV, hydro and wind, will dominate future capacity, supported by Energy Storage Systems,” according to the policy. 
“With this, the country will significantly increase its clean energy capacity and strengthen energy security,” says the report, which comes at the most turbulent time of disruption in oil and gas supply and markets. 
Despite booming renewable capacity additions, India continues to rely on coal to meet most of its power demand as authorities also look to avoid blackouts in cases of severe heat waves. 
Coal-fired power generation and capacity installations in India continue to rise, and coal remains a key pillar of India’s electricity mix, with about 60% share of total power output.
