The renewable energy capacity comprises 5,102.05 MW small hydropower, 51,674.85 MW wind power, 11,596.31 MW bio power, and 116,247.83 MW solar).

Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy Pralhad Joshi said “In a world seeking climate solutions, India is showing the way. Achieving 50% non-fossil fuel capacity five years ahead of the 2030 target is a proud moment for every Indian. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s leadership continues to drive Bharat’s green transformation — paving the path towards a self-reliant and sustainable future.”
