India’s Installed RE Capacity Reaches 220.10 GW, Another 234.46 GW in Pipeline: MNRE
India’s total installed renewable energy capacity has reached 220.10 GW as of March 31, 2025. While installed solar capacity has reached 105.65 GW, wind capacity stands at 50.04 GW and bioenergy at 11.58 GW. India also has a robust RE pipeline of 234.46 GW—comprising 169.40 GW under implementation and 65.06 GW tendered.

This RE pipeline includes 65.29 GW from emerging solutions such as hybrid systems, round-the-clock (RTC) power, peaking power, and thermal + RE bundling projects, said the Ministry in a statement.
With a record annual capacity addition of 29.52 GW, the total installed renewable energy (RE) capacity in the country has reached 220.10 GW as of March 31, 2025, up from 198.75 GW in the previous fiscal.
“This performance reflects India's steady advancement towards the target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based capacity by 2030, as part of its commitments under the ‘Panchamrit’ goals set by Prime Minister Narendra Modi,” it said.
According to the MNRE data, solar energy contributed the most to the year’s capacity expansion, with 23.83 GW added in FY 2024–25, a significant increase over the 15.03 GW added in the previous year.
The total installed solar capacity now stands at 105.65 GW. This includes 81.01 GW from ground-mounted installations, 17.02 GW from rooftop solar, 2.87 GW from solar components of hybrid projects, and 4.74 GW from off-grid systems.
Wind energy also witnessed sustained progress during the year, with 4.15 GW of new capacity added, compared to 3.25 GW in FY 2023–24. The total cumulative installed wind capacity now stands at 50.04 GW, reinforcing wind energy’s role in India’s renewable energy mix.
Bioenergy installations reached a total capacity of 11.58 GW, which includes 0.53 GW from off-grid and waste-to-energy projects. Small Hydro Power projects have achieved a capacity of 5.10 GW, with a further 0.44 GW under implementation. These sectors continue to complement the solar and wind segments by contributing to the decentralised and diversified nature of India’s energy landscape.
