]]> NEW DELHI. India has set a historic milestone by adding a record 52,537 MW of electricity generation capacity in the current financial year up to January 31, marking an 11% increase over the previous year. This surge is dominated by renewable energy, which accounts for 39,657 MW of the total, including nearly 35,000 MW from solar power alone. As of early 2026, the nation’s total installed capacity has reached 520,510.95 MW, with non-fossil fuel sources now making up the majority at 271,969.33 MW. This rapid expansion surpasses the previous annual record of 34,054 MW, signaling an unprecedented acceleration in India’s energy infrastructure development.

Union Minister Pralhad Joshi highlighted that India has already met its goal of achieving 50% of its installed capacity from non-fossil fuel sources in 2025, hitting this target five years ahead of the original Paris Agreement schedule. With renewable capacity now exceeding 266 GW, the government is focusing on long-term goals, including reaching 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030 and Net Zero emissions by 2070. To support this growth, India is prioritizing grid modernization, green energy corridors, and energy storage solutions to ensure a reliable and resilient power system for one of the world’s fastest-growing energy markets.
