India achieves 50% non-fossil fuel power generation capacity 5 years ahead of 2030 target: Pralhad Joshi
Jul-15-2025

Union New & Renewable Energy Minister Pralhad Joshi has said that India has achieved 50 per cent non-fossil fuel-based power generation capacity of 242.8 GW out of the total 484.8 GW installed capacity, five years ahead of its 2030 target. He said this assumes significance in view of India's commitment at international fora to increased non-fossil fuel-based power generation in the country.

The minister said India has set an ambitious target of having 500 GW of renewable energy-based electricity generation by 2030. He said under the visionary leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a major climate commitment has been fulfilled. India's total installed power capacity now stands at 484.8 GW, with 242.8 GW coming from non-fossil fuel sources -- a powerful testament to our green progress. This is not just a milestone -- it's a giant stride towards a greener, cleaner Bharat by 2047.

He stated that achieving 50 per cent non-fossil fuel capacity five years ahead of the 2030 target is a proud moment for every Indian, and added that Modi's leadership continues to drive Bharat's green transformation, paving the path towards a self-reliant and sustainable future.
