India Renewable Energy Sector Report 2021-2022

India ranked as the fourth largest renewable energy (RE) market in the world by installed capacity in 2020, according to data provided by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). Hydropower is the largest RE source taking 37% of total RE capacity, while solar and wind each contributed 28% to the capacity mix. Growth in new wind and solar capacities, however, has been much stronger than that of hydropower over the past few years, driven by cost reductions and healthy investment returns. In fact, solar and wind-generated electricity has been below grid parity for a couple of years and cheaper than coal-based power generated from new projects. In the 2016–2020 period, hydropower capacity increased by 3.1 GW, while solar and wind expanded by 28.6 GW and 9.9 GW, respectively. India generated nearly 23% of its electricity in 2020 from RE sources.​
