Renewable Power (Installed Capacity)

The data provides the information on the State/UT wise installed capacities of the Renewable Power (viz., solar, hydro, wind and bio) in India.

About Dataset

This dataset provides state-wise and union territory-wise installed capacity of renewable power sources in India, including solar, wind, hydro, and bio power (biomass, biogas, and bagasse). It tracks the growth of renewable energy infrastructure over time, distinguishing between grid-connected and off-grid capacities where available. The data is essential for monitoring India’s progress toward its renewable energy targets (e.g., 500 GW by 2030) and for understanding regional disparities in clean energy deployment.

Purpose of Dataset

Researchers Use This Data To Analyze Regional Patterns And Growth Trends In Renewable Energy Adoption, Assess The Effectiveness Of State-level Policies And Incentives (E.g., Solar Subsidies, Wind Zones), Model The Integration Of Variable Renewables Into The Electricity Grid, Evaluate The Displacement Of Fossil Fuels, And Forecast Future Capacity Requirements Under Climate Scenarios. The State-wise Breakdown Also Supports Studies On Energy Justice, Infrastructure Planning, And The Economic Viability Of Different Renewable Technologies Across India’s Diverse Geography.
