India’s decade of climate leadership marked by record renewable energy growth

India has made progress in clean energy and climate action over the past decade, achieving record-breaking results in FY 2024–2025. This is reported by News9, a partner of TV BRICS.

With 29.52 GW of renewable energy capacity added in a single year, India posted its highest-ever annual increase, bringing the total installed renewable capacity to 220.10 GW.

The data shows that between 2014 and 2025, solar energy capacity alone surged more than 25-fold, from 2.82 GW in 2014 to 71.78 GW in April 2025. In parallel, solar tariffs fell by 65 per cent, positioning India among the global leaders in low-cost solar power..

Moreover, a major milestone in India’s green transition is the National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in 2023, which aims to establish 5 million metric tonnes (MMT) of annual green hydrogen production capacity by 2030.
