India adds 21.9 GW of solar, wind capacity in H1 2025; another 17 GW expected in H2
Mumbai: India added 21.9 GW of new solar and wind capacity in the first half of 2025, a year-on-year increase of over 56 per cent, according to a latest report released on Thursday. According to the report by JMK Research, the country is projected to add another 16–17 GW of solar and wind capacity in the second half of 2025. It added that solar installations rose by 51.6 per cent while wind capacity surged by 82 per cent compared to last year. According to the data released by the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy till June 2025, India's RE installed capacity reached 234 GW, said the report published by JMK Research. It added that solar energy contributed about 50 per cent of the total RE segment followed by wind at 22 per cent, large hydro at 21 per cent, bio power at 5 per cent, and small hydro at 2 per cent. From January to June 2025, about 14.3 GW of new utility-scale solar capacity was added in India, which represented about 49 per cent higher installations from H1 2024. The majority of this capacity, 10.6 GW, was added in Q2 2025 only, it noted. 'In H1 2025, India added roughly 3.2 GW of rooftop solar capacity — a 76 per cent increase over H1 2024, while in the off grid/distributed solar segment, about 816.6 MW was added which is about 18.6 per cent higher than H1 2024 installations,' it said. According to the report, in the wind sector, about 3.5 GW of new capacity was added in H1 2025, 84 per cent higher than the 1.9 GW capacity added during H1 2024. The trend is expected to continue as new RE procurement mechanisms such as wind-solar hybrid, wind/solar with ESS, and Firm & Dispatchable Renewable Energy tenders gain traction. In terms of state wise installations in H1 2025, three states — Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Maharashtra — together contributed over 50 per cent of India's total solar and wind capacity additions, highlighting their central role in the country's clean energy transition.
