India adds record 44.5 GW renewable capacity by November 2025
India installed a record 44.5 GW of renewable energy by November 2025, lifting its total renewable base to 253.96 GW and non-fossil capacity to 262.74 GW. The milestone strengthens investor confidence and India's alignment with 2030 Paris Agreement and decarbonisation timelines.
India recorded its highest-ever annual renewable energy capacity addition in 2025, installing 44.5 GW by November, nearly doubling additions over the same 2024 period. This lifted the total installed renewable base to 253.96 GW, an over 23% year-on-year increase. Solar contributed close to 35 GW, raising total solar capacity to 132.85 GW (up over 41%), while wind added 5.82 GW to reach nearly 54 GW. Total non-fossil fuel capacity now stands at approximately 262.74 GW, over half of total installed capacity.
The expansion affects power developers, manufacturers, corporates and households. The PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana enabled over 25 lakh households to adopt rooftop solar. Major projects include the 1,000 MW Bikaner Solar Project in Rajasthan, expected to generate over 2,454 million units annually across multiple states. Gujarat advanced its Integrated Renewable Energy Policy 2025 targeting over 100 GW by 2030 with grid-scale battery storage, while corporate leaders such as Adani Clean Energy scaled solar, wind and green hydrogen ventures, fortifying private-sector participation.
Businesses and investors should track India's progress past the milestone of over half of installed capacity from non-fossil sources, achieved well ahead of 2030 Paris Agreement timelines. Developers should monitor transformative projects such as the Gujarat Hybrid Renewable Energy Park (expected up to 30 GW) and the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex enhancing domestic solar, battery and green-hydrogen manufacturing. Market players should anticipate continued capacity growth, strengthened grid infrastructure and evolving climate-policy compliance frameworks shaping investment across clean-energy value chains.
