Renewable energy expansion hits new high in November 2025
Dec-30-2025

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has said that India added highest-ever renewable energy capacity of 44.51 gigawatt (GW) till November 2025, which is nearly double as compared to the 24.72 GW made during the same period last year. With this addition, India’s total renewable energy installed capacity increased by 23 per cent to 253.96 GW in November 2025 as compared to 205.52 GW in November 2024. 

Solar is the major contributor in this progress. India added 34.98 GW of solar capacity till November as compared to the 20.85 GW during the corresponding period last year. Solar energy installed capacity crossed 100 GW mark in January, 2025.  The overall solar energy installed capacity has reached 132.85 GW in November, 2025, an increase of over 41 per cent as compared to the 94.17 GW in November 2024. Wind capacity also witnessed significant growth, with capacity addition of 5.82 GW during the period as compared to 3.2 GW in the same period last year. Wind energy installed capacity crossed 50 GW mark in March 2025. The wind energy installed capacity reached 53.99 GW in November 2025, an increase of over 12.5 per cent as compared to 47.96 GW in November 2024.   

In line with the Prime Minister’s vision outlined at COP-26, the government is working to reach 500 GW Non-fossil energy capacity by 2030. India achieved the milestone of 50% of its cumulative electric power installed capacity from non-fossil fuel sources in June 2025, five years ahead of the 2030 target set under its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement. India crossed 250 GW milestone of non-fossil power installed capacity in August, 2025.  The total non-fossil power installed capacity has reached 262.74 GW in November, 2025 which is 51.5% of the total installed electricity capacity in the country (509.64 GW).
