India’s renewable energy capacity is projected to reach around 530 GW by 2030, with solar photovoltaic installations contributing more than 80% of the expansion, according to the International Energy Agency’s India Renewable Energy Market Report 2026. Renewable capacity crossed 300 GW in the fourth quarter of 2026, nearly quadrupling over the past decade. Solar capacity is expected to exceed 350 GW by 2030, while wind and hydropower are projected to reach nearly 90 GW and 75 GW, respectively. ⚡
The outlook supports a sustained demand pipeline for renewable developers, power generators, transmission companies and equipment suppliers. It also places India on track to meet its 500 GW non-fossil capacity target. The report’s capacity mix makes solar the primary growth engine, increasing the importance of project execution, module availability, grid connectivity and financing conditions across the clean-energy value chain.
