India's renewable energy capacity expands to 288.58 GW.

Over the past decade, India’s renewable energy sector has experienced remarkable expansion, with installed capacity quadrupling to reach 288.58 GW as of mid-2026. According to Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy Shripad Yesso Naik, solar energy leads this transition with 162.15 GW, complemented by significant contributions from wind, hydro, and bio-power. When combined with nuclear power, the nation's total non-fossil fuel electricity capacity now stands at 297.36 GW, solidifying India's global leadership in clean energy and reinforcing its long-term climate and energy security goals. This rapid growth has been driven by massive financial backing from both international and domestic sources. Between FY14 and FY26, the sector attracted ₹4.30 lakh crore ($45.72 billion) in Foreign Direct Investment alongside ₹12.32 lakh crore ($131.06 billion) deployed by key Indian financial institutions and public sector banks. Moving forward, sustained public and private capital is expected to further boost renewable capacity, enhance domestic manufacturing capabilities, and cement India's position as a premier global market for clean energy investments. $IREDA $PFC $TATAPOWER $ADANIGREEN $JSWENERGY
