In a remarkable achievement, India added 50.9 GW of renewable energy capacity in the fiscal year ending March 2026, marking the highest annual addition to date. This surge was primarily driven by solar energy, which saw an impressive 44.6 GW increase, bringing its total installed capacity to over 150 GW. The overall renewable energy capacity, excluding large hydro, now stands at 223 GW. This growth is part of a broader trend, with approximately 127 GW added over the past five years, reflecting a significant post-pandemic recovery in the sector. Rooftop solar has also gained momentum, adding 8.7 GW in FY26 and reaching a total of 25.7 GW. India's renewable energy advancements have positioned it as the third-largest country in terms of installed capacity globally, as reported by the International Renewable Energy Agency. Overall, the share of non-fossil sources in India's total energy generation reached 29.2%, underscoring the increasing role of clean energy in the country's energy mix.
