India has reached a significant milestone, exceeding 300 gigawatts (GW) of non-fossil fuel power capacity, as reported by OilPrice.com. This achievement places the country firmly on track to meet its ambitious goal of installing 500 GW of non-fossil fuel capacity by 2030.
New and Renewable Energy Minister Pralhad Joshi announced this development at an industry event. The 300 GW threshold was officially crossed as of July 31, 2026, according to an earlier announcement from India.
This current capacity represents 60% of the total 500 GW target set for 2030. The progress highlights India's commitment to expanding its renewable energy infrastructure and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
Solar power has been the primary driver of this capacity expansion. As of the latest figures, solar installations contributed a substantial 164.59 GW to the overall non-fossil fuel capacity, OilPrice.com stated.
