India's fossil fuel-based power generation capacity increased by 2.44 percent from 237.27 GW in March 2023 to 243.22 GW in FY 2024. The data showed that non-fossil fuel-based capacity (renewable energy sources) has increased by 10.79 percent from 190.57 gigawatts (GW) in 2023-24 to 172.01 GW in 2022-23. Let us know about it.
According to official data, the country's fossil fuel-based power generation capacity is expected to increase by 2.44 percent from 237.27 GW in March 2023 to 243.22 GW in FY 2024. Government data shows that non-fossil fuel-based capacity (renewable energy sources) has increased by 10.79 percent to 190.57 gigawatts (GW) in 2023-24 from 172.01 GW in 2022-23.
Coal, lignite, petrol, and diesel are examples of fossil fuel-based capacity; electricity produced by solar, wind, and hydropower is an example of non-fossil fuel-based capacity. The addition of nuclear power capacity increased from 6.78 GW to 8.18 GW in the most recent fiscal year, representing a 20.64 percent year-over-year growth.
India's total power generation capacity increased to 441.97 GW from 416.06 GW in FY2014, a 6.22 percent increase, according to the data.
