Contribution to renewable energy sources
A variety of renewable energy resources contribute
to this impressive figure:
1. 2. 3. 4.  Solar power leads the way with 105.65 GW,
playing a crucial role in India’s efforts to harness
its abundant sunlight.
 Wind power follows closely with 50.03 GW,
driven by the vast potential of the coastal and
inland wind corridors across the country.
 Hydroelectric power is another key contributor,
with large hydro projects generating 47.73
GW and small hydro power adding 5.10 GW,
offering a reliable and sustainable source of
energy from India’s rivers and water systems.
 Biopower, including biomass and biogas
energy, adds another 11.58 GW to the
renewable energy mix. These bioenergy
projects are vital for utilizing agricultural waste
and other organic materials to generate power,
further diversifying India’s clean energy sources.
1. Rajasthan (35.75 GW)
2. Gujarat (32.17 GW)
3. Tamil Nadu (25.29 GW)
4. Karnataka (23.86 GW)
5. Maharashtra (22.68 GW)

Together, these renewable resources are helping
the country reduce its dependence on traditional
fossil fuels while driving progress towards a more
sustainable and resilient energy future.
This milestone reflects the result of years of
dedicated efforts to harness India’s natural
resources. From sprawling solar parks to wind
farms and hydroelectric projects, the country has
steadily built a diverse renewable energy base.
These initiatives have not only reduced reliance
on fossil fuels but also strengthened the nation’s
energy security. When factoring in the 8.18 GW of
nuclear capacity, the total non-fossil fuel-based
power now accounts for almost half of the country's
installed electricity generation capacity, signaling a
strong move toward clean energy leadership on the
global stage.
