As of November 2024, the country's total non-fossil fuel installed capacity has reached 213.70 GW, reflecting a 14.2% increase compared to 187.05 GW in the same month last year. During the April-November period of FY25, a total of 14.94 GW of renewable capacity was added, nearly double the 7.54 GW installed during the same period in the previous year, according to a statement from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
In November 2024, 2.3 GW of capacity was added, marking a fourfold increase compared to the 566.06 MW added in November 2023. The total non-fossil fuel capacity, including both installed and pipeline projects, rose by 28.5%, reaching 472.90 GW in November 2024, up from 368.15 GW in the same month of 2023.
Solar power continued to lead, with its installed capacity expected to increase from 72.31 GW in 2023 to 94.17 GW in 2024. Including projects in the pipeline, solar capacity surged by 52.7%, reaching a total of 261.15 GW. The installed wind power capacity rose by 7.6%, reaching 47.96 GW during the period. When including projects in the queue, the total wind capacity grew by 17.4%, totalling 74.44 GW.
In nuclear energy, installed nuclear capacity increased from 7.48 GW in 2023 to 8.18 GW in 2024, while total capacity, including pipeline projects, was 22.48 GW. Bioenergy capacity increased from 10.84 GW to 11.34 GW in 2023, representing a growth of 4.6% during this period.
