It is an exciting time for India’s renewable energy sector. With roughly 300 GW of installed clean and non-fossil-based energy capacity, and a well-mapped path for another 200 GW before the decade ends, the sector is geared up for tremendous growth. Solar power has already crossed 160 GW of installations, with around 18 GW of capacity additions in just five months since the beginning of 2026-27.
