India's Renewable Energy Milestones

India's clean-power fleet passed a headline mark on 31 July 2026: 300.50 GW of installed non-fossil generating capacity. The label matters as much as the number. Non-fossil counts five families of plant — solar, wind, hydro of both sizes, bio-power and nuclear — so it is wider than renewable capacity, which leaves nuclear out, and far wider than solar and wind together. Those five now hold more than 54 percent of a roughly 552 GW system, and just past 60 percent of the 500 GW India has set for 2030. Households remain the fastest-moving front: PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana passed 50 lakh rooftop solar homes on 4 August 2026. Storing and absorbing power that arrives only when the sun shines and the wind blows is still the hard part.
