India's renewable energy transformation accelerates dramatically. The country's Power Ministry projects solar capacity will quadruple and wind capacity will triple over the next decade, fundamentally reshaping the nation's energy landscape. This aggressive renewable expansion is expected to reduce coal's dominance in electricity generation from over 70 percent currently to just 49 percent by 2035-36. The Central Electricity Authority estimates total non-fossil fuel capacity will reach 786 gigawatts, with solar comprising 65 percent of the clean energy mix. Nuclear capacity is projected to triple to 22 GW, while pumped storage hydropower capacity will surge 13-fold to 94 GW. Battery storage capacity is expected to skyrocket from 0.27 GW to 80 GW during the same period.
