Electricity generation from India’s non-fossil fuel-based power plants—comprising wind, solar, small and large hydro, and nuclear—represented 30 percent of total electricity generation from April to August 2025, according to data released by the Central Electricity Authority.
This milestone is significant in India’s commitment to achieving a target of 500 GW of non-fossil energy capacity by 2030, underscoring its progress in reducing dependence on fossil fuels. Notably, non-fossil fuel sources, excluding nuclear, contributed 27.97 percent to the country’s electricity generation, while nuclear energy accounted for 2.88 percent.
Excluding nuclear power and large hydro projects, India’s renewable energy capacity is approximately 192 GW.
