India has made significant progress in transitioning to clean energy by achieving 50% of its installed electricity capacity from non-fossil fuel sources, surpassing its 2030 target early. The country saw a notable increase in renewable power output in the first half of 2025, along with a decline in coal-fired generation. Despite this positive trend, fossil fuels still contribute significantly to power generation. India plans to expand its coal-fired capacity by 80GW by 2032 to meet growing energy demands. The government is furthering decarbonisation efforts through initiatives such as battery storage, circularity in solar and wind component production, and the promotion of green hydrogen. The relaxation of mandates for coal-fired power plants is expected to reduce electricity costs, although stricter assessments will be applied to plants in critically polluted areas.
