Solar Power Plant Telangana II in state of Telangana, India. India renewable electricity production by source. India is the world's 3rd largest consumer of electricity and the world's 3rd largest renewable energy producer with 46.3% of energy capacity installed as of October 2024 (203.18 GW of 452.69 GW) coming from renewable sources.
Earlier, natural gas use in power generation was thought to be a bridge fuel as it emits far less CO 2 (below 50%) when compared to coal use in power generation until renewable power generation without CO 2 emissions become economical. [143] Renewable power generation is already cheaper than coal and gas fueled power generation in India.
India was a net energy importer to meet nearly 47% of its total primary energy in 2019. [3] [4] While much of its energy comes from fossil fuels, as of 2024, India is in the midst of a very rapid growth of solar and other renewable energy. However, this page currently only discusses the country's fossil fuel–based energy.
Since its development on 9 June 2008, IEX had recorded 37.4 million transactions, the same month that electricity prices on the exchange hit a record low 13 paisa/KWh. In November 2009, IEX won Best E-Enabled Customer Platform at the second annual India Power Awards for developing what was described as "a robust platform for energy trading. [5]
India's government has set a target of achieving 40% cumulative electrical power capacity from non-fossil fuel resources by 2030. It plans to enhance the renewable power installed capacity to 175 GW by the end of 2022 which includes 60 GW from wind power, 100 GW from solar power, 10 GW from biomass power and 5 GW from small hydropower.

It commissioned India’s largest solar farm (510 MW) in Telangana in 2017. [11] In 2016, it became the first Indian renewable energy company to achieve 1 GW capacity and was also the first company to have 10 GW installed capacity. [7] [12] [13] As of 2023, ReNew has current and planned assets with a capacity of generating more than 13.4 GW of ...
This is a list of states and territories of India by installed power generation capacity. This is measured in Megawatts (MW) which is equal to one million watts of electric power. As of 31st December 2024, the installed capacity is around 462 GW. Gujarat (57 GW) leads in power generation capacity, followed by Maharashtra (49 GW) and Rajasthan ...
[5] [6] The Kamuthi Solar Power Project was completed on 21 September 2016 with an investment of around ₹ 4,550 crore (equivalent to ₹ 65 billion or US$770 million in 2023). [7] The solar plant consists of 2.5 million solar modules, 380,000 foundations, 27,000 metres of structures, 576 inverters, 154 transformers, and almost 6,000 km of cables.
