India Electric Power Generation Report 2025-2026

India is the world's third-largest producer and consumer of electricity, with a total installed capacity of 475.2 GW as of FY2025. A landmark achievement during the year was the crossing of 100 GW in installed solar capacity, which helped raise the country's total non-fossil fuel-based capacity to 228.3 GW. In line with its climate commitments under the Paris Agreement, India has set an ambitious target of 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based capacity by 2030. Power is a critical driver of the country's economic engine, and under the government's “Viksit Bharat" vision for 2047, the sector is being positioned as a cornerstone of inclusive and sustainable growth. A broad-based transformation is underway across the power value chain, propelled by proactive policymaking, improved access to finance, greater ease of doing business, and the accelerated deployment of cutting-edge technologies. Large-scale investments are being channelled into strengthening transmission and distribution networks to enhance system reliability and connectivity. To ensure seamless integration of variable renewable energy sources, there is a strong push for battery energy storage systems (BESS), which are vital for maintaining grid stability and meeting rising demand. Additionally, the government is ramping up efforts to develop nuclear energy as a dependable, low-carbon baseload source. Collectively, these initiatives reaffirm India's steadfast commitment to building a power sector that is not only reliable and resilient but also clean, future-ready, and aligned with its long-term sustainability goals.
