India's Renewable Energy Transition
Non-Fossil Capacity Targets
India's electricity system is shifting rapidly from coal-dominated to diversified low-carbon sources. Non-fossil capacity includes solar, wind, hydropower, nuclear, and other renewables. India's installed non-fossil capacity crossed 52.57% of total installed capacity by early 2026, surpassing the 2030 NDC target of 50% five years early. The new 60% target by 2035 continues this trajectory.
- India targets 500 GW of non-fossil capacity by 2030 under the National Electricity Plan
- Solar and wind lead the expansion: India has the fourth-largest installed renewable energy capacity globally
- The National Solar Mission (part of NAPCC) has been a key driver of solar expansion
- Nuclear power, though a small share, counts as non-fossil capacity and India is expanding its fleet
