India's Renewable Energy Pipeline Hits 234 GW, Installed Capacity Reaches 220.10 GW: MNRE

India has a renewable energy pipeline totalling 234.46 GW, which includes 169.40 GW currently under implementation and 65.06 GW that has already been tendered, as per the data provided by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). According to the data, in 2024–25, the country added 29.52 GW of renewable energy capacity, bringing the total installed capacity to 220.10 GW by March 31, 2025, compared to 198.75 GW in the previous fiscal year.

In FY25, solar energy contributed 23.83 GW to the total capacity added. The cumulative installed solar capacity has now reached 105.65 GW, comprising 81.01 GW from ground-mounted installations, 17.02 GW from rooftop solar, 2.87 GW from hybrid projects, and 4.74 GW from off-grid systems. During FY25, wind energy capacity increased by 4.15 GW, up from 3.25 GW in the previous year. The total installed wind capacity now stands at 50.04 GW.

The total bioenergy capacity has reached 11.58 GW, including 0.53 GW from off-grid and waste-to-energy projects. Small hydropower projects have achieved a combined capacity of 5.10 GW, with an additional 0.44 GW currently under development. The MNRE also reported that 65.29 GW of the total 234.46 GW pipeline capacity comprises hybrid systems, round-the-clock power, peaking power, and thermal + renewable energy bundling projects.

The MNRE noted that the impressive growth in renewable energy capacity is a key part of India’s on-going efforts to achieve its ambitious target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based power generation capacity by 2030, as outlined in the country’s Panchamrit commitments made at COP26.
