INFOGRAPHIC: India boosts renewable capacity even as grid, market challenges persist

India is one of the world's fastest-growing renewable energy markets, driven by policy support, abundant capital availability and rapidly rising electricity demand.

Clean energy installed capacity, which achieved record-high additions in the country in 2025, is expected to increase further by 2030, with growth momentum anticipated to continue despite some challenges.

Grid bottlenecks, curtailment risks and delayed power sale agreements are among the hurdles hindering the accelerated buildout needed to boost the share of renewable electricity in the grid.

Analysts project hybrid renewable energy projects, combining solar and wind power with battery storage, to become increasingly common as a solution to intermittency, with costs expected to decline over time.
