India has added non-fossil capacity of over 55 gigawatts (GW) during the last financial year. Briefing media in New Delhi today on the achievements of Renewable Energy in 2025-26, New and Renewable Energy Minister Pralhad Joshi said that a total of over 283 gigawatts (GW) of capacity from non-fossil fuel sources has been installed in the country so far. He said India stands in third position on the global stage in renewable energy installed capacity.

The Minister said that the country has also surpassed 150 gigawatts of installed solar capacity. Mr Joshi highlighted that the last financial year alone witnessed the highest-ever annual solar capacity addition of around 45 gigawatt, which is nearly double the previous record of around 23 gigawatt in 2024-25. The Minister said India has achieved the milestone of 50 per cent of its cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel sources in June last year, five years ahead of the 2030 target.
