The details of installed generation capacity in September 2025, at the time of achievement of 500 GW, and the installed generation capacity as on 31.12.2025, indicating the percentage share of fossil and non fossil fuel sources, are given in Table A. As on 31.12.2025 the total installed generation capacity is 5,13,730 MW, comprising of 2,46,942 MW (48.07 %) of fossil-fuel sources and 2,66,788 MW (51.93 %) of non-fossil fuel sources.
India has achieved a landmark in its energy transition journey by reaching 50% of its installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources in June, 2025 - more than five years ahead of the target set under its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement. This significant milestone underscores the country's steadfast commitment to climate action and sustainable development.
During 2025, a total of 48,436 MW Renewable energy capacity has been added. This includes 37,945 MW of Solar power and 6,347 MW of Wind power. The details of the renewable energy capacity additions during 2025 are given in Table B.
The details of initiatives undertaken by the Government of India to achieve 500 GW non fossil capacity by 2030 and the strategy for attaining Net Zero emissions by 2070 are as follows:
The impact of this achievement on India's long term energy transition roadmap is crucial towards the goal of combating climate change, keeping in view energy security, affordability and accessibility as critical inalienable priorities to ensure growth and development alongside Energy transition of the economy towards net-zero by 2070.
