India's Renewable Energy Milestones

India crossed a symbolic threshold in June 2025: half of its electricity-generating capacity now comes from non-fossil sources - solar, wind, large hydro, nuclear and bio-power - a share it had promised under the Paris Agreement only by 2030. Capacity kept climbing through the year, passing 500 GW in late September and reaching roughly 52% non-fossil by December. The tougher question has now shifted from building clean capacity to actually soaking it up: variable solar and wind strain a grid that badly needs storage to deliver reliable, round-the-clock power.
