India’s Renewable Energy 2024 Milestones and 2025 Roadmap

India continues to witness unprecedented growth in 2024 as it proceeds towards its ambitious 2025 targets. In 2024, India made significant strides in the renewable energy sector dominated by solar and wind energy installations backed by policy advancements, and infrastructural improvements. With abundant renewable energy sources, India aims to achieve 500 GW of non-fossil fuel-based energy capacity by 2030. 

Solar energy remained a dominant contributor to India's renewable energy growth accounting for 47% of the total installed renewable energy capacity. In 2024, about 18.5 GW of utility-scale solar capacity was recorded whereas, 3.4 GW of new wind capacity was added to the portfolio. 

Ministry of New & Renewable Energy (MNRE) played a key role in achieving the 2024 milestones, its key highlights include: 

• Green Hydrogen Policies

• Expansion of domestic solar PV and wind turbine manufacturing 

• Grid Infrastructure Development. 

States like Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu contributed about 71% of India's total utility solar installations. Likewise, Karnataka, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu led the way for new wind energy installations in the country. As the country proceeds towards 2025, it aims to achieve renewable energy targets and solidify its status as a global leader in clean energy transitions.

Conclusion

India continues to expand its renewable energy portfolio through several renewable energy projects such as the Pudimadaka green hydrogen project, Ladakh Solar Park, and Dibang HE project. It achieved a milestone of 220.10 GW of total installed renewable energy capacity in 2024. 

Thus, India continues to position itself in the global renewable energy market through several large-scale renewable projects like the Khavda Renewable Energy Park, Ladakh Solar Park, and more.
