India’s installed non-fossil fuel-based energy capacity increases more than 22% year-on-year to 297.36 GW in June 2026, according to official data reported by multiple outlets. The total capacity was 242.78 GW in June 2025. Solar and wind account for the largest components of the non-fossil mix. Solar capacity reaches 162.15 GW in June 2026, up from 116.25 GW a year earlier. Wind capacity rises to 57.44 GW, compared with 51.67 GW in June 2025. The reports describe the growth as part of India’s broader clean-energy expansion and cite comments from the New and Renewable Energy Minister, Pralhad Joshi, who attributes the momentum to the government’s clean energy transition efforts. Overall, the figures show that non-fossil capacity grows significantly within a year, with both solar and wind contributing to the increase, while the remaining non-fossil category is not detailed in the provided excerpts.
