61.6% of the way to 500 GW.
Non-fossil capacity (renewables, large hydro and nuclear) stood at 308.03 GW on 30 September 2026. 191.97 GW to go by 2030.
Goal: Government of India (PIB). Current figure: MNRE, 30 September 2026.
Solar is now 57% of India’s renewable capacity.
Installed capacity in GW, 30 September 2026. Solar includes 33.4 GW of grid-connected rooftop systems. Large hydro includes 7.4 GW of pumped storage. Source: MNRE.
What this covers, and what it leaves out.
Installed capacity from MNRE’s monthly physical progress table: solar (ground-mounted, rooftop, hybrid and off-grid), wind, small hydro, bio-power, and large hydro as reported by CEA. It measures capacity built, not electricity generated. Nuclear counts only in the non-fossil total we compare with the 2030 goal.
