India’s green energy surge outpaces coal

India’s energy shift is gaining serious momentum.

For the first time, green power additions outpaced coal in FY25, with 28 GW of new renewable capacity added, nearly double the year before.

While coal growth has plateaued at 219 GW, renewables surged to 172 GW, narrowing the gap like never before.

This marks a pivotal milestone as India pushes to decarbonise without compromising on growth.

The trend also signals growing investor appetite and policy support for clean energy as a long-term bet.
