India’s electricity generation mix shifts further toward renewables in July, with solar and wind output rising to record levels and coal’s share falling to a one-year low, according to government data cited by multiple outlets. One report says solar and wind combined exceed 100 gigawatts for the first time and account for a record 42.8% of India’s electricity supply on July 13. Another source reports that renewable power in July reaches 20% of the overall energy mix, amounting to 36.25 billion kWh, which is about 30% higher than the same month last year. Together, the figures indicate that increased clean-energy generation lifts renewables’ contribution and reduces coal’s relative role in power supply during the month. The coverage describes the change as part of a broader uptick in clean-energy generation, with the exact impact reflected in the lower coal share and the simultaneous growth in renewable generation. The data is based on government figures for July.
